Hello,
I have a laptop with dual boot with one NTFS partition so that both Windows
and Linux can read/write to it. I use ntfs-3g to mount the partition with
Fedora 8.
Is there any way to have encryption on that NTFS partition that works for both
Windows and Fedora 8 ? My main concern is protecting the data in case the
laptop gets stolen, etc.
I did some Google searches but haven't come up with any real lead yet.
You can't have looked very hard.
http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#questions says:
"NTFS supports built-in, transparent compression and encryption
of files and directories on the file system level. Reading
transparently compressed files are supported but writing of
compressed and encrypted files is denied."

I think maybe that was his point that ntfs-3g didn't support being able
to write compressed and encrypted files and was asking if there was such
a beast so he could. Another respondent pointed to TrueCrypt.org as a
possible solution.
