No, I want each user to have their own volume, manually mouinted with
a passphrase.  For instance, I have crontab entries for myself that I
want to execute even if the encryopted volume is not mounted.  I wanta
reboot to work fine without waiting for passphrases.

I have no problem with LVM.  I will configure the external drive as
one volume group and create individual logical volumes for each user,
so everyone has control of their own encrypted volume.  They can add
something to their .bash files to automount it if they want, it won't
make me no never mind.  Heck, they can skip the encryption if they
want.  But I want users to have their own logical volumes, and I want
it to be independent of $HOME.
