I've been using cryptsetup with the LUKS extension (i.e. cryptsetup that ships with Fedora) for a couple of years now for an encrypted volume that I would mount on-demand. It's still possible to do that. See my "FC3 encrypted filesystem femto-howto" posting in this list. As you point out, the Fedora installer isn't supporting our use-case for encrypted file systems, but it's not a bug. It's worth thinking about this more. My reason for wanting to mount my encrypted volume on-demand is to keep sensitive data that I need occasionally (but not continually) away from an attacker who compromises my machine over the network. If I detect the compromise *before* the next time I mount my encrypted volume, my defense-in-depth has worked. But if I don't detect the compromise, and type in my passphrase, the attacker has it and my data. >From the above, it seems that mounting encrypted volumes on-demand is a reasonable use-case.
