Linux 4.1 - ext4 encryption


I recently read that the ext4 filesystem now has built in encryption support with 4.1 kernels.

eg: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...nges-Linux-4.1

How can i go about setting this up on a desktop system?

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.f...ems.ext4/48206 has some info.

Last one may have more clues.

I'd think that since Google offers it then they'd have it on their web pages somewhere.
