For your home directory if you're using ecryptfs encrypted home, I realized it's not the SUSE default but it's so much more flexible then
I agree that "ecryptfs" seems to be a better solution than the loop mounted LUKS container.
I use an entire encrypted partition instead. For a single user machine, there is no need to use a loop (and in most cases, even if the computer is shared, you want to protect against thieves, not partners). Of course, it mounts either at boot, or manually, not on login.
On the question of randomly encrypted swap, do note that this breaks hibernation.
Ah, yes, I forgot about that. And hibernation is precisely the main reason of swap nowdays, encrypted or not...
Also your homedir is only mounted when you're logged in, otherwise it's unmounted ...
Have you checked that recently?
In my experience, the directory remains mounted after logout (and I think that also applies to a loop mounted LUKS container). This started with opensuse 13.1, and it continues in factory.
I had forgotten that one... :-( - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
