Right now?  Not very well ;-)  dlehman is working on making it so that
we properly recognize pre-existing encrypted partitions, though.
Depending on the scope of the changes, we'll either apply them "soon"
and ask for some targeted testing or we'll have to hold off until F10 in
which case the answer will be the same as it's been for previous
releases -- comment out any encrypted partitions you have and then turn
them back to being mounted once your upgrade is complete
