Hi,

I installed Debian 11 (bullseye) on a fresh PC.
I created 3 partitions: /, swap, /home.

...and forgot during installation dialog to encrypt the /home partition.

- how can I encrypt the /home partition now?
- In such a way that the password is asked for manual input during every boot?

- does it make sense to use a LVM atop? How?

I usually prefer using shell commands before graphical stuff, but will accept GUI tools either.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
	Klaus Singvogel.
