Install Archlinux on LUKS encrypted BTRFS filesystem with subvolumes

In this post I will go through the system installation. Second post will be about btrfs snapshots, namely how to create and restore snapshot.

ArchLinux installation is very well documented on Archlinux Wiki. My tutorial basically follows all the necessary steps from the wiki page with some additional configuration to achieve:

• LUKS encryption (this will be applied to all partitions except /boot)
• btrfs formatted filesystem, with use of subvolumes with flat layout
