You can encrypt a filesystem in harddrake. click "toggle to expert mode", and 
click on options. Unfortunately the password has to be at least 20 character. 
Sorry, but i just can't put important data on a filesystem encrypted with 20 
characters, my memory is just not that good ;-)
This has been implemented since 8.1 I think. I have tried every possible way 
to get the mandrake guys to change the minimum characters down to something 
sane:
emailed cooker list during devel process of 8.1 multiple times
emailed cooker list during devel process of 9.0 multiple times
submitted it to mandrake-expert
submitted a patch to mandrake bugzilla,

and... still nothing
I guess nobody except me is really interested in it
