I am looking into this as well.
I don't want to encrypt the whole home directory as it will be on a RAID
device and doesn't require it. Not all users require encryption at all
times. What I want is the ability to encrypt subdirectories as
required. Such as work done at home that needs to be protected from
everyone else but me. Something that needs to ensure that the files are
encrypted, even if the power is removed to crash the system.
Enough control to allow this to be done in the background instead of
having to decrypt and re-encrypt directories/files as required.
Pre-assigning a loop back device would require to much space dedicated
to a single user/application that would change as requirements change.
40gig one day and 200 gig the next.
I have a question on this.
Is it possible to mount loop devices as LVM's or is it the other way
around? This could allow changes to be made as required.
