Shared encrypted filesystem

[Bill Davidsen]

Any thoughts on remote mounting a filesystem securely? Clearly I could just 
export it and count on the encryption in the WiFi and the VPN to protect the 
data, but that leaves it mounted in clear on the server. I looked at putting the 
data in a file mounted with cryptoloop on the client, which works, or creating a 
loop device and then having that be a LUKS device. I haven't tried that last 
one, but my notes say I did create a local loop/LUKS device for a demo, so I 
suppose it could happen.

Is there some simple and common additional method I've missed?

The file is "shared" at various locations, but it would work if only one client 
at a time could access it, writes are rare, even needing access is unusual, but 
it does happen.
