unfortunately not. This is an area where some work should be invested.
It would require to do things properly in order also. LVM support also
comes to mind. I think these devices can be staged in an arbitrarily
complex way, no? Encrypting a RAID device, or creating a RAID device
from encrypted partitions, for instance (of which the former sounds more
reasonable to me).

Yes, the RAID could not be assembled, and then the machine could not boot
up. But I have never experienced this kind of problem for hard disks.

Yes. An error is too harsh: When I tried things out, my RAID assembling
was (tried to be) carried out before the hard disks were visible, so this
failed. Waiting a little solved the problem.
