The problem is that then i cant use the snapshot facility while the stuff is mounted, and i cant resize it while it is mounted. I'd like that feature. Okay, i could just encrypt the partition(s) below LVM, but that is troubled too, as i might not want to encrypt all my LV's, and either i might have to start severel loopback devices. And as for loop-aes... no thanks, i cant even change my password. > Hope it helps. not really.
