I would suppose all of them?
Add an encrypted Partition, with data or whatever on it, to a running
system can be done easily.
If you can mount a filesystem locally you can also mount it from within
a ssh-session.
Another problem is if you put "things" essential for booting up the
system into the encrypted partition. Then you'll have to invest some
extra work...
