Don't forget http://www.truecrypt.org/

The rubberhose web site disappeared a while back, but you can google
and find an archive.  I too have a mirror, should that one be out of
date.

I once ported a crypted file system, and indeed it is quite difficult
with monolithic kernels.  And you are really putting your data at
risk, so be sure to include backups in your implementation.  And test
those backups, especially if you are backing up the crypted image, as
opposed to encrypting your backups.
