Hi:
1) I was thinking, what is the performance penalty of storing data on an
encrypted device? Sure, for writing documents, coding and stuff, I guess
the performance loss is insignificant, but for music and video which
then needs to be decrypted and then decoded, is this a problem?
2) One thing is to create an entire encrypted device for /home. But that
have the unfortunate consequence that other user's data is unencrypted
once the system is up.
What would be more appropriate is a solution where each home-dir is an
encrypted mfs which is decrypted and mounted when the user log in, is
this possible?
If not, then the alternative would be to have a private mfs in the
user's home dir which is mounted after login, but I think yet the user
needs root access to mount encrypted devices.
Is there any possibility for users to mount their own encrypted mfs?
Thanks, Erik
