Err - that's a tricky one. So long ago :-) I *think* I grabbed an RPM - mkcryptfs from someplace. I'm operating remotely right now - I'll be back in Australia next week and can less painfully check. But have a look for mkcryptfs, it's just a script. > Does all tools you need come with Mandrake or have you downloaded some > other tools from the internet? > > Has there ever been any problems with this partition? (Noticieable > speedup problems, problems with symbolic links, copying large amount of > files or something like that...) Zero problems. It's an ext3 FS, my only qualm is that I can't recall fsck'ing it ever :-) /Kevin -- Kevin J.
