I am planning a Fedora 14 installation, and thinking about making separate LV's for:
/boot
/var
/home
/usr
/root
/tmp
I think encrypting during installation might be a good idea. Are there any partitions between above mentioned, that should not be encrypted? Can I encrypt all of them?

Hi,
not sure, but i think encrypting /boot will technicaly not work, because reading the kernel is done before anything. Also i think there is no need for encypting the kernel
Think more about encrypting swap, this contains parts of your information from memory, especialy in case of dump.
