DISCUSSION: Creating a virtual disk to "hide" files


A new la entry has been added:

Creating a virtual disk to "hide" files

Quote:
The description below only works if you are root. Based upon comments on the content below, there is a desire to do something similar, but as a non-root user. I'll try to see what I can come up with. In the meantime, here is a way to "hide" files if you are root:

One of the many neat things you can do in Linux is to create a "virtual disk" (which is really just a file), and you can add other files to it. We use this at work to store an xml file into a virtual disk that are xen virtual machines use when booting to configure themselves.
