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.
Err - that's a tricky one. So long ago :-)
I *think* I grabbed an RPM - mkcryptfs from someplace. I'm operating remotely right now - I'll be back in Australia next week and can less painfully check. But have a look for mkcryptfs, it's just a script.
That helped to googling. I found following page which contains instructions:
http://openpgp.vie-privee.org/linux_en.html
According to page the password must always be atleast 20 characters long just like you descriped... :-(
