I was able to get FUSE and sshfs up and running on chinook with the packages located <a href="http://maemo-sdk.garage.maemo.org/download/repo/dists/alpha-1/target/chinook/binary-armel/">here</a>.<br>
This doesn't solve your problem, I know, but on the rest of my linux
computers I've been using encfs with FUSE. I don't think it would be
very hard to get <a href="http://www.arg0.net/encfs">encfs</a> up and
running on chinook with FUSE already tackled. In fact I might try
getting that going myself. Encfs seems like it would be exactly what
you want.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 8:49 PM, Andrew Daviel <<a href="mailto:advax@triumf.ca">advax@triumf.ca</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Are there any encrypted filesystems that work on the Nokia tablets ?<br>
<br>
With all the buzz about people losing laptops with reams of HR records<br>
etc. it seems having an encrypted FS on an eminently losable device such<br>
as a tablet would be a good idea. While gpg can be used to encrypt single<br>
files, it is a real pain if you have lots of temporary files like a<br>
browser cache, and you have to remember to clean up plaintext with "shred<br>
-u".<br>
<br>
I've used BestCrypt on my Linux desktop and laptops for the last few<br>
years. At the time it seemed the only thing that worked, and I've kept<br>
going out of inertia, but it's nonfree on Windows and uses x86<br>
precompiled kernel modules ("taints the kernel").<br>
<br>
How it works is that you create an encrypted container file (or a raw<br>
device), then create a filesystem on it (ext2, VFAT, etc.) and mount it.<br>
You give a password to mount the container, after which you have a<br>
normal-looking filesystem which can contain things like<br>
.mozilla/xyzdefault/cache and /tmp. I guess you could put /home on it,<br>
but earlier versions were insufficiently robust to risk it.<br>
<br>
(For the paranoid, there was recent buzz about people pulling data such<br>
as disk encryption keys out of RAM by cooling it, power-cycling then<br>
booting an alternate low-footprint OS - e.g. if someone steals your<br>
laptop when it's suspended or on)<br>
