I came across the same thing, myself, on a laptop.  In the end, I caved
in and let Fedora use LVM on the box, which would seem to work by
encrypting the whole volume group in the one go (root, swap, and all),
rather than individually doing each volume inside it.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
