Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2933716 By: antona Hi, Yes you can do that. The ntfs driver is perfectly suited to doing exactly that. You do not need to enable anything special as long as your kernel is a 2.6 kernel and it contains the NTFS driver compiled with write support enabled. If you are using a 2.4 kernel you need to upgrade to 2.6. If you are compiling your own kernel make sure to enable NTFS and NTFS write support when configuring the kernel. You then just mount the ntfs partition and setup the loopback device losetup /dev/loop0 /mnt/ntfs/bestcrypt-container-file and you can now use /dev/loop0 to access your bestcrypt container as the block device /dev/loop0. Several linux distributions (e.g. Topologi Linux) use this method to install themselves on an ntfs partition in a large file which is then loopback mounted under Linux and a normal linux partition (like ext3) is placed on it.
