hmmm interesting. i havent tried encrypted filesystems yet ... but according to the kernel config help, you can use loopback device support for it:
The loop device driver can also be used to "hide" a file system in a disk partition, floppy, or regular file, either using encryption (scrambling the data) or steganography (hiding the data in the low bits of, say, a sound file). maybe mount it with -o loop ? your kernel must support loop though . btw, im guessing on this one. --- Rob Gillen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone had a chance to play with encrypted > filesystems yet?
