Here's what I'm after...

I want to mount a file system that's encrypted. I.e. I have to enter a password to mount it, and once unmonuted, it all remains within the disk image.

Any ideas of the best way of handling this? Anyone done this before? If so, what did you use?

I'd start with encfs: http://encfs.sourceforge.net/

Not personally used it, however it appears to meet your spec, and with Ubuntu (and probably Debian) "apt-get install encfs" is all you need to install it.


Sorry, just realised encfs is file-by-file based, not loopback based, which is what you were asking for.
