When deciding to encrypt the filesystem, the above is the *very* least of your worries. The whole point of encrypting it is to keep it's contents "secret". Nuking the partition is a good way to do that.... I'm working the idea over of encrypting one of my systems this way because of it's sensitive contents. I have the system in a secure area, I keep the backup tapes secure, but with the current system, there's no security if someone is able to walk away with the box. Access is too easy. Because I have backups, I have absolutely not a care in the world about what happens to that system if someone were to steal it. I'd be very happy if the drive got wiped clean....
