From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Btrfs subvol isn't suited for all cases. For example I can't do LUKS on top of Btrfs because its a filesystem, not block storage.
You can't do LUKS on LVM either, right? Only LVM on LUKS, just like Btrfs on LUKS.
You can. In fact I'm planning the setup for my laptop which uses this as part of the design.

The more you know.
I've been using it for a while. It allows for easier redundancy without mucking about with the encrypted volume.
Sure you can.
