Mailing List Archive: CFS detection?

Many of the newer Linux Distributions are touting CFS as an advantageous
file system now packaged with their distros. I for one, just recently
bought the SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional distro, and it too made note of
the CFS filesystem. With the rising of security issues being recognized
over the last 5 years, i would say that CFS and other cryptographic
filesystems may be more widely utilized.

I for one; use it for my network backup shares. IMHO i believe that
others may soon realize it's advantages and begin to look into the
"cryptographic" arena for answers. This given......i would like to see
it integrated.
