I want to keep my home directory on an external drive and move it between
computers as required.
I managed 8000 users in a WAN and all personal directories are stored
in a sMB server and I'm using libpam-mount to give them their home
directory.
It's highly configurable and, for your request, this words from README file:
# volume <user> [smb|ncp|nfs|local] <server> <volume> <mount point>
<mount options> <fs key cipher> <fs key path>
# Linux encrypted home directory examples:
# volume user local - /dev/hda123 /home/user loop,encryption=aes - -
# volume user local - /home/user.img /home/user
loop,user,exec,encryption=aes,keybits=256 - -
# volume user local - /home/user.img - - - -
# volume user local - /home/user.img - - aes-256-ecb /home/user4.key
you can crypt your home directory or not.
It's begin to work when you log in your system and end working when
you log out, so it transparent for users.
cheers,
