the technique in the article does not only apply to sparse files. have

an encrypted /var on some of my webservers and the procedure is

identical to what's in the link further down (starts with the dd-ing of

an image file).
do note it's not possible to encrypt all partitions using vnconfig. for

the time being this is the best you can do: encrypt images and mount

them after using vnconfig.
