What are you calling a nested GPT partition ?
Something like this:
{root@cecil:harri () 519} lsblk /dev/sde
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sde 8:64 0 931.5G 0 disk
|-sde1 8:65 0 1023M 0 part /boot/efi
|-sde2 8:66 0 1G 0 part /boot
`-sde3 8:67 0 882.9G 0 part
`-os 253:3 0 882.9G 0 crypt
|-os1 253:4 0 32G 0 part /
|-os2 253:5 0 32G 0 part swap
`-os3 253:6 0 818.9G 0 part /home
How do you create a partitionable encrypted volume ?
You can create a partition table but AFAICS the kernel does not read it.
partx fails to add the partitions. partprobe can create device-mapper
devices for the partitions, but they are not "real" partitions (even
though lsblk says so) and it is not automatic.
