Don't know anything about EncFS, but you could also use loopback encryption on top of gmailfs. Just make a large file in gmail fs, and make a filesystem in it via loopback virtual block device-in-a-file. Adam On Fri, Sep 03, 2004 at 04:44:58AM +0200, Thomas Shaddack wrote:

Question for the crowd: How difficult it would be to write a suitable crypto engine as a plug-in module for FUSE itself? Then we could have support for encrypted files on any filesystem accessible through FUSE.

It seems that there is a solution Out There already, in the form of EncFS. See http://arg0.net/users/vgough/encfs.html
Mount the GmailFS as eg. /mnt/gmail, and then mount encfs to eg. /mnt/gmailsec with /mnt/gmail as its root.
Voila, problem solved! (At least theoretically. I didn't test it.)
What are your thoughts on EncFS, please?
