I just found a cool linux feature which helps me to create private mounts where no other user or process can see or access it: by using linux namespaces with the tool "unshare" from the pkg linux-utils. It allows, besides other things, per-process private filesystem mount points. It also works with truecrypt-mounts. Here's a good basic demo of the idea: http://blog.endpoint.com/2012/01/linux-unshare-m-for-per-process-private.html See also: man unshare, man 2 unshare -- cu Uenal -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
