Answer: don't install Stretch onto a 2 TB drive -- install Stretch onto 
a small SSD or USB flash drive.  (SSD's are better for interactive use.) 
  Choose manual partitioning in the Debian installer, erase all existing 
partitions, create a new partition table (will be MBR), create a 1 GB 
partition and set it for btrfs and /boot, create a 1 GB partition and 
set it for encrypted swap, and create a 10 GB partition and set it for 
encrypted btrfs root.  Now you can move that image between any 16+ GB 
device; it will fit and it will boot in many computers.


Use the 2 TB drive for bulk data.
