In usual operation over the network, the fact that we're setting up encryption is easily identifiable to any packet sniffer (DHE key exchanges are fairly easy to fingerprint), but security relies on the fact that even knowing that we're setting up encryption, the attacker can't gain access to it. The fact that we are setting up encryption isn't seen as a useful thing to conceal, so why is it important for your encrypted disk use case? James
