Hello,

as one of the new features Ubuntu offers full-disc encryption. Now first tried the new feature in a virtual box before upgrading my current system and chose manual partition, as always, to create the following setup: / (about 50GB), /swap (16GB) and /home (the rest of 256GB). Now I found out, that if I create an encrypted disk, I just can encrypt either the / or the /home partition, not both at the same time. So is there an option I missed or do I have to encrypt / and use the encrypt home folder option? (At least I can also use only / without separating /home ).
