Options The following options are available in the [Home] section: DefaultStorage= The default storage to use for home areas. Takes one of luks, fscrypt, directory, subvolume, cifs. For details about these options, see homectl1. If not configured or assigned the empty string, the default storage is automatically determined: if not running in a container environment and /home/ is not itself encrypted, defaults to luks. Otherwise defaults to subvolume if /home/ is on a btrfs file system, and directory otherwise. Note that the storage selected on the homectl command line always takes precedence. DefaultFileSystemType= When using luks as storage (see above), selects the default file system to use inside the user's LUKS volume. Takes one of btrfs, ext4 or xfs. If not specified defaults to btrfs. This setting has no effect if a different storage mechanism is used. The file system type selected on the homectl command line always takes precedence.
