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       \
        && echo 'sekret' | /bin/cryptsetup create Crypted /dev/sys/ToBeEnc      
\
        && mkfs -t reiser4 /dev/mapper/Crypted  \
        && mount /dev/mapper/Crypted /some/where

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

Any other example?
