Subject: [9fans] Encrypting file systems
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:42:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86wrjivvi9.fsf@cmarib.ramside> (raw)
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!
