oh, i tried this once before, because i've seen this somewhere too. but 
it does not work here. mount seems to recognize the "encryption" option, 
but it asks about the keysize:

EXT2-fs: Unrecognized mount option keybits

but even why i type in the keysize and the (now empty) password, 
mounting fails.

so i'll stick to my little script which will prompt me upon booting 
about the passphrase.


Thank you,
Christian.
