I keep /, /boot, and swap outside LVM, everything else is under LVM. I think all I need to do is to encrypt /home which is under LVM. I use reiserfs. I would appreciate suggestion and pointers on what it is practical and simple in order to accomplish this task with a minimum of downtime. Thanks, -- Valmor
