I am coming from encfs/cryfs on Linux, which allow encryption at directory level. A user space mount shows the unencrypted contents, while the physical disk has encrypted contents, which can be easily backed up.
encfs on NetBSD seems broken and dated to me, while cryfs doesn't seem to be available (contrary to wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_disk_encryption_software#Operating_systems ) Have a few questions about cgd in this context: - Can the native cgd of NetBSD be used for the purpose of encrypted backup? Basically can I mount such filesystem in a way that it shows encrypted files? - Can I use a virtual filesystem (loop device/vnode disk) with cgd? - Can I dynamically grow such virtual filesystem as the space requirement grows?
