Hi, I think an option to lock (and unlock; like locking a door) would be a useful feature with encrypted directories. By this the user could "lock" a sensitive directory and "unlock" it only when needed. This could be integrated in an ext4 user tool, or in a new tool, for example lockdir -l mydir # locking lockdir -u mydir # unlocking A locked directory cannot be accessed. Both locking and unlocking shall ask for a password for just that directory. The password could be saved in an internal file within the directory, and auto-deleted after successful unlocking.
