NODE bf35089dCryptographic filesystem for Linux?

Is there an encrypted filesystem for Linux out there? I'm speaking of
something like Secure File System(DOS), but for Linux. The kernel in
question is 1.1.59, soon to be upgraded to a later version. IDE drive,
ex2fs formatted file system.
Regards.

I've thought about porting Matt Blaze's "cfs" to linux.
For several reasons:
-- because I trust his practical crypto ability more than mine
or most anyone else's
-- because it runs in user-level code rather than in the
kernel -- making both installation and development
much easier
-- because it's had some serious usage and refinement
Q: What is it in the "cfs" code that makes it BSD-specific?
How much work would it be to overcome that?
thx, strick

cfs already runs on linux, s'far as I can tell. I was using it
on linux about a year ago or so..

Matt Blaze's CFS should port to any system where NFS works...
