But then when looking for a suitable filesystem to format the loopback disk I noticed that the LDP has archived this HOWTO http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Loopback-Encrypted-Filesystem-HOWTO.html as being no longer relevant.
So does that mean that there is a nice pre-packaged and GUI driven way of doing this now ?
I was taking a look at this the other day, and it appears that dm-crypt is the tool for the job. I got as far as looking at the first couple of hits out of google for dm-crypt see http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ and http://deb.riseup.net/storage/encryption/dmcrypt/ for more, and please let me know how you get on as I want to do some similar stuff for private files on my laptop.
Thanks Adam
