um ouch, I missed this part! that's going to complicate matters
enormously. if you can tar stuff off onto an external USB/firewire
drive, I'd highly recommend that you do it now!
otherwise, your problems will multiply harshly. once done,
wipe/reinstall and place your backed up data in place.
and yeah, whole disc encryption is really unnecessary unless you happen
to be working for a government agency or some private firm that insists
on "total security"I tend to encrypt /home and the swap partitions here.
its not much of a performance hit and my data is "reasonably safe".

And yes the drive is encrypted using the red hat / fedora standard
encryption.
When whole-disk encryption goes wrong, it's a total PITA to fix AFAICT. I'd
put the really sensitive data somewhere like /home or /data , and just encrypt
that partition or LV. That way, when it all goes pear-shaped, you have a
better chance of the stuff in /, /usr, and so forth still being usable. But I
don't need "complete paranoiac"-level security for most of my stuff....
