[gentoo-user] LVM on LUKS

Hi list!

I'm building a new Gentoo system (notebook) and want to rearrange a few
things. I thought it would be good to have the following layout:

 - boot on a normal partition
 - root on a normal partition
 - one big encrypted partition (dmcrypt / LUKS)
 - on that partition an LVM volume group
 - on that volume group all stuff not necessary for booting: home, var,
tmp, etc.

AFAIK, the Gentoo boot process is organized so that LVM gets stated
before dmcrypt is started. I would need it vice versa.

Is that possible with baselayout-1? Do I need to switch to baselayout-2?

Thanks in advance!
Florian Philipp
