Hey all,

I have a few cases where I'd like to encrypt without taking the system down for extended periods, ie, servers.

In the windows/apple world truecrypt / bitlocker / filevault will all let you encrypt the root partition as a background process, throttled to a low IO load. Usually this requires a reboot to get started, then runs in the background.

Does anyone know how to achieve this in the Linux world? (preferably with luks)
