HOWTO: EncFS Encrypted Filesystem in Ubuntu and Fedora GNU/Linux ~ Moving to Freedom. I mentioned recently that I planned to keep using TrueCrypt in GNU/Linux since I had used it profitably in Windows, and that I also intended to keep using the container approach where you create a single file of a certain size and then mount it to get your virtual file system.

I’m reevaluating my plan. I still like TrueCrypt and will likely keep using it, maybe by alternating DVD backups between it and my new intended: the EncFS Encrypted Filesystem. (And of course GPG is always good for many crypto jobs, and will also be part of my security framework.) The drawback with my TrueCrypt method is having to create files of fixed sizes. You either have a lot of empty space tied up or you’re bursting at the seams and can’t expand a volume. And you’re dealing with some large files; perhaps with additional risk of an entire volume being more easily corrupted? After adding another 200GB drive to the slug the other day, I didn’t want to make more decisions about container sizes. What to do? 1. 2. RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs.

When you have finished using your PSP, you must right click on it's icon and select eject before unplugging it.

This ensures that any files being written to the PSP are permanently saved and informs any programs that may be using files on the device. Troubleshooting If your PSP is not automatically recognized see the Troubleshooting section at Mount/USB.
