Does anyone know how I can create an encrypted filesystem on a file in my home directory, non-root? I'm using the loop-aes system and I can create everything but I have to chown the file and mount point to change the owner and group to my user. But, when I mount the filesystem the mount point directory is changed back to owner=root and group=root and I can't create directories and files in the mounted filesystem since I don't have permission.
