5 years ago Right now, this can be done by creating LVM in advance. I would avoid automated LVM due to #353
Swap itself is not inside of encrypted LVM.
One problem I am facing right now is disk configuration crashing due to /dev/[opened luks device] missing, but that can be fixed by patching this line:
https://github.com/deadhead420/anarchy-linux/blob/master/lib/configure_device.sh#L392
All you need is to grep -v that device.

5 years ago @sercansahan Isn't the point of an automated installation to not need any input? But I see where you're coming from, it could maybe be a seperate option during the installation.
Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to close the issue.

5 years ago I encountered a crash during disk configuration and could not use automated LUKS on LVM but I am not sure if it is the crash @nemanjan00 mentioned since last time I used the installer was over a year ago.
Also, @JustMeErazem , you are right. An automated installation should not need any input and as you mentioned this can be a separate option during the installation. I opened this because previous home partition can be reused in a fresh installation (which I regularly do if I reinstall my current distro) but current automated LVM config does not allow that.

5 years ago @sercansahan Didn't think about this use case, you're right. Would you maybe want to add this option yourself and send a PR?
When choosing Automatic Partiton with LVM, it may be good idea to give option to choose which mount points will be created as seperate volumes.
Some users may want seperate volume for /home and do not want seperate one for /tmp, some other may want seperate volumes for /usr, /tmp etc.
For recommendation, a fixed list for order of mount points can be used and depending on user choice, volumes can be created depending on their order in that fixed list.
