I am trying to mount a file as encrypted filesystem on openSuSE 10.3 [...] Can anyone tell me please how to solve this issue?
YaST2/System/Partitioner helps you accomplish that very easily. Just run "Crypt File / Create Crypt File" and fill up the fields. The file does not have to exist before you run YaST2. The only warning I would give is that, if you mistype your password 3 times or if you don't pay attention at reboot and the encrypted mount times out, then you are left with the mount point empty. I was fooled once and copied things to the unmounted directory and later I wondered where they were, because they are hidden when you mount the encrypted file system. To prevent that, I now create a warning file "do_not_copy_files_here" to recognize when I am seeing the empty mount point, instead of the mounted file system. -- Carlos FL "It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority.
