Seeking Current Info on Linux Encrypted FS?

Posted by Cliff on from the protecting-your-personal-data dept.

slick_rick asks: "I'm looking for info on encrypted file systems under Linux to help my employers company move away from Microsoft centric solutions. However the latest HOWTO is two years old, the latest kernel patch dates back to April (and 2.4.3) and even the Sourceforge project has nearly zero documentation and appears to be very dead. Are slashdotters using encrypted file systems? If so, what are your experiences?" We last talked about this topic, just over a year ago, in this article.

    >You can see how trivially easy that was and if you had put about half an hour's thought into it, you could have realized that the "outdated" howto hasn't been updated because the process is pretty much unchanged and you would not have wasted our time with yet another linux newbie Ask /. question. But that's just my opinion.

    Well, that's quite an attitude from someone with a /. ID in the low four-hundred-thousands.

    Errm,a low /. ID now equals some sort of coolness factor and allows you to be rude?

    I must be way cool, maybe I should get a badge printed with my number on it? :)
