EncFS
EncFS is an encrypted pass-through filesystem which runs in userspace on Linux (using the FUSE kernel module). Similar in design to CFS and other pass-through filesystems, all data is encrypted and stored in the underlying filesystem. Unlike loopback filesystems, there is no predetermined or pre-allocated filesystem size.

I am loving it!!!
This is what I want, an encrypted fs which cannot be accessed by another after mounted.

mount.fuse encfs#/home/.encuser/ /home/user
it result in error
