I use a couple of encrypted files that are mounted on a loopback device
and appear as a filesystem - mounted just where I need it. Does this
fit the bill? There is a howto out there (I google for it when I need
it - google is my bookmarks list.) Oh, I use loop_fish2 - plenty of
security and good performance too.
