==Link on filesystem infobox==
Template for filesystems redirect here in "transparent encryption", however transparent encryption is both a per-file encryption (like EFS) and a per-volume encryption (like DR-DOS or Cryptoloop), that transparently encrypts and decrypts file/volume contents without the user or the programs knowing about that process.
Line 6 ⟶ 7:
:Or better yet, enhance this [[Common filesystem features]] article.

::In the context of filesystems, it doesn't make any sense to talk about transparent block device-level encryption (disk encryption) - as any filesystem supports this method as long as the operating system has a means for disk encryption. I think the link caption in the filesystem infobox template should be changed instead to make it more clear. And I don't see a need for rename, either - there already are articles on [[full disk encryption]] and [[disk encryption]] which cover the disk-level encryption part. In my opinion, separating these is a good thing, as they are conceptually very different - although a generic article comparing the two would be nice to have, too. As for enhancing, name one article on Wikipedia that ''shouldn't'' be enhanced? ;) -- [[User:Intgr|intgr]] 22:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
