Am I really the only one which encrypt its files using openSUSE approach?
sorry, i can't answer your initial question (never had or used encrypted partitions)...but, for your question above: no.
Actually openSUSE encrypts home folders by using an image file.There are *not* partitions involved.
and AFAICT some have also had to deal with insufficient space--here are a few i found:

Again all the links, but the last one, deal with problems abput LVM and encrypted partitions, which are not related to my issue.
and google can turn up others..what i didn't find was a clear how it works or answers to all of your other questions...otoh i think Carlos gave you _the_ correct answer: *Backup* and by that i'm sure he means an OFF machine backup..
I've tried to found something related on the web, but didn't found anything relevant. Naturally I would proceed with a backup first approach.I would be interested in the details of the "expansion" process, as I said if it will proceed with a copy+delete, it wouldn't have the space required to do such a thing. Anyway looking at the openSUSE forums reply rate, maybe I would have better posted there to get "users" support ?
