 |
|
Hi, I was trying to make a remote encrypted filesystem. I have one computer with huge HDD so I made a 20GB file there
| Code: | | dd if=/dev/urandom of=myfile ... |
Then I used shfs (and lately samba) to mount the HDD to my laptop. From the laptop I did
| Code: | losetup -e aes -k 128 /dev/loop0 /mnt/somepath/myfile
mke2fs -j /dev/loop0 |
It went smooth for a while (even faster than I'd expect it to run) but after few minutes I got segmentation fault. So I tired to switch to samba but with the same result.
So my question is - is there some way how to make a cryptofs remotely without mounting it on the remote computer and then mounting the decrypted content to my laptop?
The reason for this is that I want the content to be encrypted as long as possible on it's way to my laptop (call me paranoid  ). |
