this is really not a helpful comment and your name does seem pretty apt
Happy to help.
The ops question is something impossible to answer because there isn’t enough information provided. Lvm? Luks? What did they even choose? Who knows!
Even if they had said precisely how the system is set up, the question invites a defense of whatever cockamamie scheme is happening. That’s no good!
It’s okay that they asked like that though, people shouldn’t be expected to remember every esoteric detail about decisions they made in some silly program and thinking about “how’s this gonna be a problem” is a good thing.
My answer was intended to provide a justification for the op to change their volume configuration to something they’re comfortable with. Anyone sticking up for them in their fight with a machine would say the same.
It’s okay to not understand stuff. It doesn’t make a person stupid and it’s not an insult.
