Can I mount/stack ext4 on fat32

Asked by AlexGenaud

Ecryptfs' ability to grow (rather than preallocating an encrypted block). I often use the unallocated space to share between computers (perhaps with different OS's). However, my encrypted data is typically OS-centric (Linux of course). Can I mount an ext4 filesystem from (on top of) FAT32 or NTFS? And if so, would I get the advantages such as long and unicode file names? -- and 4GB+ file sizes?

No, eCryptfs is a stacked filesystem. Ext4 is not. Sorry.

Can you help with this problem?
