Infact I want a 10 GB file. I had given GELI encrypted UFS file a thought but I want it to be mountable from MS-Windows as well. UFS Explorer mounts UFS Disks but allows one way data xfrer (from UFS to Windows). You cannot write onto using UFS Explorer. Besides that, I doubt if UFS Explorer would ask for a password on encountering the encrypted file. Any inputs how to mount a UFS encrypted file as a drive on Windows with RW support ? That would be the best solution !! Any ideas ?
