I use the MDK provided encrypted FS for 1 File System - not a partition
- just a 2GB file inside an ext3 FS. Works in a non-integrated way (as
in tools like nautilus have no way of asking you for the password when
you go to mount it). It uses the AES cipher, with 256 bit keys. Some
people don't like typing in the 20 odd characters it wants for a key. Apart from that, haven't had a problem or an issue with it.
The nice thing about this is I can put it on a DVD, and not worry about mis-placing the DVD. Can mount it anyplace with the loop AES stuff.
Thanks, that was exactly the way how I would actually like to make the partition. Can I ask some more questions...
What tools you use/did use for initializing the keys, creating the 2 GB file and for mounting that file as a partition.
Does all tools you need come with Mandrake or have you downloaded some other tools from the internet?
Has there ever been any problems with this partition? (Noticieable speedup problems, problems with symbolic links, copying large amount of files or something like that...)
