well, the filesystem residing on the usual encrypted loop device can be
resized without problems... I've done this a few times at least...

there's just one thing that doesn't work to well, ... resizing the
underlying volume space without re-losetup'ing the loop device...

e.g. if resize the underlying logical LVM volume or fileimage, you'll
have to delete the loop device and losetup it again... I didn't have the
time to fix this in the loop device driver, but if someone wants to,
it's quite easy....
