Hi Noah,
You might be able to achieve this with ecryptfs, from Ubuntu.
It can mount an encrypted drive with unencrypted-passthrough; you can then
run around rewriting all the files to convert them.
ie.
mount -t ecryptfs encrypted crypted
find -type f crypted -exec rewrite_file \{\} \;
where rewrite_file does something like
cp $FILE tmp_file
rm $FILE
mv tmp_file $FILE-Toby On Thu, 23 Apr 2015 at 08:36 Noah O'Donoghue <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey all, > > I have a few cases where I'd like to encrypt without taking the system > down for extended periods, ie, servers. > > In the windows/apple world truecrypt / bitlocker / filevault will all let > you encrypt the root partition as a background process, throttled to a low > IO load.
