My2c - I think the term "Persistent" is good, but agree that it should not stand on its own. I almost agree with @sajolida's suggestion, but wonder if we should put in an extra emphasise that indicate 2 things: a) that the other folders are UNencrypted and b) that the persistent storage (folders) are in fact encrypted.
IMO, could use "vault", "LUKS" or "encrypted", for example:
- "Persistent vault" (indicates encryption, even for non-technical folks)
- "Persistent encrypted storage" (least tech term)
- "Persistent LUKS storage" (for Linux knowers, indicates encrypted PARTITION)
