I am planning on reinstalling to new drive(s) the next time my distro releases a new version and i am interested in drive encryption, so i was wondering

if i have root and home on two separate SSDs and they are encrypted with the same password, would i have to enter the password twice to boot? and would there be any other downsides of an encrypted two drive setup?

is there anything i should take into account when using or setting up drive encryption? any best practices for drive encryption that i should know?

thanks in advance

    Wherever you want really, its only incase the luks headers corrupt which is probably quite rare.

    Also probably way easier to do what the other person suggested with the keyfile. My brain kinda blanked out on that possibility
