RFE: Create Luks and LVM Partitioning

[DanitiKain]

Would like the option in the script to create auto partitioning with LUKS and LVM as an option.

I think I'll tackle the option to do Full Disk Encryption using LUKs and LVM. This is how I usually install laptops, so I have quite a bit of experience with this.

Let me know if this is something you'd be willing to merge and if you have suggestions how to integrate it into the menu system.

Perhaps linked to #55

I treat LVM on Luks as a separate problem than UEFI, but yes, I can tackle both when I have time.

I suggest to merge this issue to https://github.com/MatMoul/archfi/issues/55#issuecomment-501458874

Seconded. Unless it will let me create LVM / LUKS, archfi is almost completely useless to me as I typically will not do a Linux install without LVM, and I wouldn't do a Linux install on a laptop without LUKS as well.

LVM / LUKS always seems to be the linchpin where these "installer scripts" fail; either they won't let you do it at all, or they will but won't let you specify names for your volume group(s) / logical volume(s) / etc.

@praetorxyn It's very difficult to offer all the part sheme avaible in linux... This is why you can press CTRL+F2 to make your own part sheme and mount it as you want... Then you can come back to archfi with CTRL+F1 and select your partitions...

[praetorxyn]

That's what I ended up doing, though in this case I decided to just do LUKS and try out a custom btrfs subvolune scheme.

Maybe I'm mis-understanding the issue, but setting up LVM + LUKS with archfi works fine for me without doing anything custom.
