The Cost Of Home Directory Encryption & LUKS Full Disk Encryption On Ubuntu 18.04

Again full disk encryption wins. There are also other problems with ecryptfs. Once I accidently tried it on a fresh Ubuntu install. It took less than 24 hours to fail because the first thing I did was restoring old backups and some files had 240+ character file names/paths. Ecryptfs had a very low maximum for file names so it failed to restore from the backups. Nice. I kind of thought it would use full disk encryption by default.

Better idea - don't use swap at all. You don't need it now that machines have 16 to 64 gigabytes of RAM.

also, ZFS now has encryption. Would be cool to have it benchmarked against those.
My personal experience with home dir encryption is 2x failures and had to restore backups... Xorg would just restart and I couldn't log in, ubuntu 16 at the time, created a new user and restored files.

TLDR: You want swap regardless of the amount of system RAM you have.
