Alternativly you could just mount a file rather then a physical device as your loopback/encrypted partition. This way you dont need to resize your existing partitions.

Thanks Dave. That is an option, but after taking into consideration the pros and cons of each option listed in a document I saw (lost the link), the partition approach appeared to be the way to go. I kind of dismissed the mounted file idea for performance and security reasons, but it's probably a good place to start (at least getting some experience w/ cryptoloop).
