Here's a question.... Does Darwin allow loop-back mounting yet? If so,
one thing I'd like to see is encryption support in the loopback. I've
seen this done in Linux, pretty cool. But it'd be even cooler in OS X,
where you could use it to encrypt HFS partitions, so you'd get fast
searchability but still high security.

Just thinking about disk I/O stuff. :-)


Thoughts?
