Problems with encrypted /var.

Hello! I tried to install opensuse-10.1 with an encrypted /var partition. This created problems in the bootup process. It turns out that encrypted partitions are mounted later than ordinary partitions. This creates some problems because /var/run, /var/log, /var/spool and so on are not available. Is there any reason not to mount crypted partitions along with all the ordinary partitions? BTW: Are there any plans to support crypted root? BTW1: What about LUKS support?
