============

!!!

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.

	!!!
