Which disadvantages? I agree that with LUKS there would be the disadvantage of requiring root privileges and having a fixed size, but encFS uses FUSE (therefore it can be mounted by an ordinary user) and there is no size limit. The advantage of an encrypted filesystem is that you can store an ordinary SQLite file inside it. :-) Ciao, Alberto -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
