Of particular interest to me is recovery of encrypted files/partitions, using a different installation than the original. Having to keep a copy of the original installation kernel keys for ext4 with any data backups and additionally remembering to refresh them every time a new kernel is installed, adds to the user-un-friendliness of an encryption method.
Just to throw a BIG monkey-wrench into the picture, be careful if you install or upgrade any operating system ...
One of the problems that crops up every now and then on the raid mailing list is "intelligent" utilities writing an MBR or GPT without asking...
And the latest one was an upgrade to debian. Something seemed to have written a GPT to /dev/md0 which obviously didn't do the array much good ... it always used to be just writing to a hard drive like /dev/sdX and now it seems to be writing to other block devices as well :-(
