IME commandline works, but gui pgp fails because it's trying to lock memory
and can't. How would pgpdisk work, since linux doesn't use drive letters?

White WINE or Red WINE?

I have no idea how it would work. I have never used Wine and don't
know how it emulates the Windows directory structure. (I know, I know
.... Not an Emulator.)

Basically you just tell it which linux directories to use as windows drives,
though you can give it raw dev access if you want. So there's no way I know
of which would let you mount a drive letter from within wine with a windows
program.

Yeah, well after a lot of wine you usually end up trying to unlock your
front door with the pgp keys

It will not work, the PGP disk is designed to work on a FAT 32 system.
Besides it is useless to use encryption on a JFS unless the entire JFS is
encrypted.
For PGP email download the PGP 6.5.8 from MIT or PGPi.org or use GNUPG.

Not intrinsicly a problem. Linux has pretty good fat32 support

He never said he was using a JFS.

just to ask:
I'm sorry, I didn't read the kernel filesystem API, but isn't there a
syscall which I instruct the kernel to BYPASS writing the journalling data?
