One most confusing thing I found when reading the Admin Manual - Encrypting Partitions and Files - is the somewhat ambigious use of the terms "partition" "file system" and "files" in this sentence quoted from the Manual,"As well as using a partition, it is possible to create enctypted files systems within single files for holding confidential data." Nice to get a translation of that.

File system = the entire Linux file structure, from "/" down. Partition = an area of the disk What that statement means, is that you can create a file, that can be mounted as though it was a partition. It can be formatted as desired, including with encryption.
