I like FreeBSD very much, I did not make it my primary OS, so far, because of some issues. Among these was the cryptoloop-device I had been using under GNU/Linux, which I used for storing my diary. If I am going to make FreeBSD my primary OS, I need that functionality from FreeBSD, too. Now I read in the manual, that FreeBSD features GBDE (GEOM Based Disc Encryption) for creating encrypted filesystem. I am not sure, however, if GBDE will work with filesystems that do not reside on a physical disc. Does anybody know? I've read the manual and man-pages, but they do not seem to answer my question... Thanks a lot, Kind regards, Benjamin -- +++ GMX - die erste Adresse für Mail, Message, More +++ Bis 31.1.: TopMail + Digicam für nur 29 EUR http://www.gmx.net/topmail
