Understood , FS need kernel driver , which made it hard to port my encrypted disk to other OS. So .. if i use a single file , i'm just worrying that if my file size keep growing , will there be a problem ? E.g: It's like the ISO image file , once created , if you want to add new files. You can't just simply resize it , but only create a new one , right ? I want to use the whole disk just in case of that problem.

Yeah , TC is cool on Linux , but i almost do the same thing with dm-crypt. > > > - -- > > Best Regards, > > Aaron Lewis - PGP: 0x4A6D32A0 > > FingerPrint EA63 26B2 6C52 72EA A4A5 EB6B BDFE 35B0 4A6D 32A0 > > irc: A4r0n on freenode > > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ > > > > iEYEARECAAYFAkwZjs0ACgkQvf41sEptMqBv1wCghMmHBLpDs0+KL8q9scR+/ui4 > > 6XEAoKtQqZZ1MhzqxfzGGrGcZe8YVpFq > > =AMXX > > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Best Regards, Aaron Lewis - PGP: 0x4A6D32A0 FingerPrint EA63 26B2 6C52 72EA A4A5 EB6B BDFE 35B0 4A6D 32A0 irc: A4r0n on freenode
