Is it possible to encrypt my harddisk when using btrfs?
Update:
With the native Manjaro installer I succeeded in making my disk encrypted. But it's below the btrfs layer (btrfs sits inside the encryption)

btrfs does not have native encryption built-in.
Instead, one way you can encrypt the disk is to first set up LUKS partition(s), and then have btrfs as the filesystem once the partitions are decrypted.
