for starters ============ !!! Do not use ECFS. Use it for testing purposes only! !!! 1. Compile ecfs for your current kernel: $ cd /path/to/ecfs; make 2. Install # cp ecfs.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/fs 3. Start ECFS # ./start-ecfs Enter your key (at least 8 byte) and ECFS is loaded. 4. Use ECFS # mount -t ecfs /dev/fd0 /mnt All read/write to mnt are now crypted. You can use ext2tools to handle ECFS partitions, like fsck.ext2 etc. Its Ext2 after all! ECFS cant handle mmap(), so its not for your root-FS, its even in development, so send feedback to stealth@segfault.net. !!! Since its in development, your data may be unreadable when using ECFS. Don't blame me, use tcfs or so if you want well-tested CFS. !!! Stealth
