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. -- -- "Jonathan Thornburg [remove -animal to reply]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> School of Mathematics, U of Southampton, England "Space travel is utter bilge" -- common misquote of UK Astronomer Royal Richard Woolley's remarks of 1956 "All this writing about space travel is utter bilge.
