I just checked the root file system installed by the July 3 netinstall 
using a rescue CD.
The file system was not encrypted.  That is reasonable as I did not ask 
for an encrypted file system.
I have never knowingly installed an encrypted file system.  They're 
flakey enough without encryption.
Neither have I ever converted a file system to encrypted.  Whoever 
thought I said I used an encrypted
file system needs some remedial reading comprehension  lessons.
