Hello,
I currently have both my root and home partition encrypted with the same passphrase. However, I have to type the same passphrase four times, the two partitions while in initial ram disk and then again after the initial ram disk boots the operating system.
Is there a way to only have to type the passphrase once? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John

Hi John,
I believe the canonical way to do this is to set up LVM on LUKS. See
pros and cons of different approaches in the table at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#Overview
With LVM on LUKS, you only need to enter the passphrase once to unlock
the LVM. All partitions inside the LVM are automatically unlocked as a
result.
Hope that helps!
Regards,
Arun

Specifically this section might be useful for avoiding the second half of
the passwords that need to be typed:

I'd be interested in seeing your os declaration if you succeed with this!
Best wishes,
