    <title>Options</title>

    <para>The following options are available in the [Home] section:</para>

    <variablelist class='home-directives'>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>DefaultStorage=</varname></term>
        <listitem><para>The default storage to use for home areas. Takes one of <literal>luks</literal>,
        <literal>fscrypt</literal>, <literal>directory</literal>, <literal>subvolume</literal>,
        <literal>cifs</literal>. For details about these options, see
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>homectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. If not
        configured or assigned the empty string, the default storage is automatically determined: if not
        running in a container environment and <filename>/home/</filename> is not itself encrypted, defaults
        to <literal>luks</literal>. Otherwise defaults to <literal>subvolume</literal> if
        <filename>/home/</filename> is on a btrfs file system, and <literal>directory</literal>
        otherwise. Note that the storage selected on the <command>homectl</command> command line always takes
        precedence.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>DefaultFileSystemType=</varname></term>
        <listitem><para>When using <literal>luks</literal> as storage (see above), selects the default file
        system to use inside the user's LUKS volume. Takes one of <literal>btrfs</literal>,
        <literal>ext4</literal> or <literal>xfs</literal>. If not specified defaults to
        <literal>btrfs</literal>. This setting has no effect if a different storage mechanism is used. The
