The “btrfs-replace” command can be used to do this. I use it in automation to migrate a btrfs filesystem on an unencrypted volume to a luks volume. All on one disk. You do need to manually recreate the efi and boot partition, identify the UUID of the /boot partition so grub can find it, as well as the fstab. New fstab means new initrds. Lastly you’ll need to create a new EFI boot entry. -- Jonathan Billings -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
