There is CFS - Cryptographic Filesystem - which uses a local NFS server
running on the loopback network interface to provide encryption.

I wouldn't use it as /home, though - I found it had some NFS locking problems
with certain applications, and that would make it fairly painful to use
as a desktop. Instead, I'd set it up in a separate area and move
anything sensitive in there.

Under Debian, at least, it's packaged and a very simple install. Not
sure about other distros.

Doesn't require any reformatting.

Cheers,

Paul
