Implementation may cause some weaknesses... I was/am using an alternative system Encfs (which hooks into login system via pam) and uses the same password for login and drive unlock. On disk encryption is via strong random password, which is in turn encrypted by user supplied password. The weakness is that the system login is basically a MD5 hash of password and is accessible outside the scope of the encrypted home drive. So the hash could be cracked separately to provide password access encrypted partition. What's my point? Convienence breads weakness, but a weak-ish system may be sufficient for every day protection for things such as lost/stolen laptop.
