LUKS on LVM

Encryption is done on top of existing logical volumes (this is not the same as encrypting the physical device). Any single logical volume can be encrypted, leaving other volumes unencrypted. This method also allows for flexible logical volume setups, since encryption will happen once the LV is created.

Does Linux have full disk encryption?

Ubuntu Core 20 and 22 use full disk encryption (FDE) whenever the hardware allows, protecting both the confidentiality and integrity of a device's data when there's physical access to a device, or after a device has been lost or stolen.
