If I have a LUKS encrypted root partition, will things just work? I.e., when the initrd pivots, will I get a request for the passphrase of the root partition and then it will proceed to boot as normal (and read keys from /etc/cryptab to mount the other partitions)? If I need to do more, some pointers would be great. It would be LUKS on top of LVM on top of software RAID. I believe to convert my to encrypted I'd need to make a new LVM volume, create an encrypted device on top of it, and copy. Is there an easier way? Thanks.
