There's a dearth of explanatory writing in this article, and I want to know my /home directory will be encrypted, and not destroyed. It definitely is NOT clear from this article whether that's the case or not. I.e., does $DEVICE need to be a totally new partition/LVM lv/etc.? So, does this encrypt an in-place /home?

I have updated the post to include specific instructions on how to change the owner so, hopefully, ${USER} will have write permissions. Thanks :-) You are right, blasnoff.

After creating the filesystem on the encrypted device the home directory has still "root" as owner, it has to be changed to ${USER} so you can write on your own directory (GDM will even refuse to log in without writing permissions... Luckly plain old console login worked and I fixed up the lil mess ;-) ) pam_mount is quite cool, I enjoyed this how-to. :-)
