It may not be what you want, but cfs (ports/packages) is a cryptographic
filesystem which runs outside the kernel. It works at the _file_ level
(on top of a standard filesystem), with encryption keys specified on
a per-directory-tree basis, so doesn't care about the filesystem size.
I've been using cfs for about 15 years (first 7 on SunOS, last 8 on
OpenBSD), and am generally happy with it.
