But where is /dev/sda3?

Okay if I do like this, but encrypting it during installation means we
are securing it from attacks? You have shown swap also to be
encrypted, so swap also gets attacked? And for 250 GB hard disk and 2
GB RAM, should this be fine:

/ = 20 GB
/boot = 5 GB
/home = 180 GB
/opt = 10 GB
/tmp = 10 GB
/usr/local = 10 GB
/var = 10 GB
swap = 5 GB

Thanks.
