Hello,

Back in 2009, someone on this list posted about encrypting /usr on a
Plan 9 laptop they had.  Does anyone know how to encrypt a file system
on Plan 9?  (I'm talking about encrypting the storage on disk, not just
the network connection to it.)

My intuition would be to look for a "crypt" command in the fs(3) driver.
But there doesn't seem to be any.  (And the man pages suggest that keyfs
only stores files 40 bytes in size?)  Yes, I know I could export a
device from another OS (like Linux), but I'm looking for a native Plan 9
solution.

How might one go about encrypting a Plan 9 file system, either at the
block level or file level?

Thanks!
