Is there any good way of encrypting file on the n800? like encfs, truecrypt or anything like that?

Any idea if the gpgnu implementation is fully functional? I have been trying to generate a key and seem to be having problems at the end when I enter the passphrase. Granted it could be my keyboard spitting out duplicate chars but not sure.
Has anyone used it successfully with DSA/Elgamal/1024bits?
After the passphrase input I get the error message:
"gpg: [Internal]:0: invalid algorithm"

Yes but have you been able to encrypt and sign a file with it (and with confidence)?

Gpg works but I believe that works with single files. I'm also looking for encfs or truecrypt since it transparently encrypts entire filesystems... (usually as a file that's mounted as a loopback device)
I've tried compiling my own copy of truecrypt but keep on encountering issues with the process (esp. dm-crypt). Anyone else have better luck?

Works like a charm.
I didn't post because it needs a custom kernel (dm has to be linked to the kernel, module is not possible, afaik) and not sure people will use a new kernel.
So it's kernel-level encryption. No need for any software in theory. In practice I have also ported one tool to ease the mounting. Now I need one command to mount my enc partition.
As for truecrypt, it's another layer. I have no use of this

Tried compiling the kernel with dm-crypt on the unit itself but that didn't go well either.

I don't need truecrypt either, I can't seem to keep track of how fast the tech changes (Started using cryptoloop, which was overtaken by encfs, but then now...?)
