Slightly off topic: Android and Cyanogenmod have an encryption option, it converts the user data volume in place, and its reversible.

Does anyone know what they're leveraging to do this? If it were only in Google's Android I might guess it's one of those proprietary parts, but it's definitely in Cyanogenmod also. Seems like that could be leveraged, not in the O.P.'S case, but by desktop Linux.

Kind annoying this is an install option only right now.
