But is there a way to create a multi-os encrypted FS?
AFAIK there isn't any way to do it as the FS layer currently (so that it works with both Linux and OpenSolaris). An interesting project which hasn't yet been ported to OpenSolaris is TrueCrypt. It uses FUSE for the filesystem part. It currently works on Linux, MacOS and Windows. A port to OpenSolaris is something that I'd eventually like to do/investigate. Another possibility is ZFS on FUSE (on Linux). Encryption for ZFS hasn't yet been integrated into OpenSolaris but when it does perhaps the ZFS on FUSE project will support it. You may want to ask this questions on security-discuss. -Mark _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
