The unencrypted directory never actually has anything in it; any attempts to read and write it get passed through to the encrypted directory where all the data actually lives. >I'm thinking something like: > >encfs ~/.crypt /absolute/path/to/ext3/usb/hd This will keep all the data on your home directory and leave your usb drive empty; it'll just "look" like that's where the files are. >I have about over 80Gb of movie files and growing and my /home folder is >limited in size. I dont know if this is sensible solution or make encfs >parameters pointing to the usb HD. Please advise. Make the parameters point to the usb hd. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
