(question) Raid5 + Encryption -- which is first?

Hi all,

If I want to encrypt a whole filesystem which is Raid5, do I make Raid5 first and then mount it as "encrypted" partition?  (my guess is yes).

But, that begs question.  What if I add a device to Raid5?  Will it be transparent to encryption layer, or will it screw it up?
