No, they will not. They are block level encryption tools. The eCryptfs that Ubuntu uses for home directory encryption can be used for folder level encryption.

    Hi,
          You can encrypt data on an ext formatted drive. You can use
    true crypt or dm-crypt.

        Hi all,

        I use Ubuntu 10.4 and a 1 tb ext drive to store my docs,
        backups, movies etc.

        Got some friends who want to borrow the drive. I do not want
        them to have access to the docs and private folders. To the
        others  let them copy, paste etc

        Ant suggestions on how to go abt it?

        Regards,
        Brian
