hard to setup? How? What's hard about it? |

You just encrypt the block device and create an fs on it. |

/sbin/lvcreate -nToBeEnc -L5g sys \ |
| 20 |
&& echo 'sekret' | /bin/cryptsetup create Crypted /dev/sys/ToBeEnc \ |
| 21 |
&& mkfs -t reiser4 /dev/mapper/Crypted \ |
| 22 |
&& mount /dev/mapper/Crypted /some/where |
| 23 |
|

Obviously, the lvcreate and mkfs steps are just a one time step :) |
