I suppose I could run Solaris 10, along with encryption pack, on the

Yes, you can have as many served OSs as you have disk space for.

I'm not aware of any whole-disk encryption products for Solaris though.
The Encryption 10 encryption kit doesn't do it as far as I can tell.


The encryption kit offers bigger-key and some new crypto algorithms
for some of the built-in library crypto functions on Solaris. Doesn't
do anything else... Most people don't need it.

Best bet is to port TrueCrypt or something simular to Solaris. I don't
know of anything already done out there.
There is a ZFS Crypto project, but if anything, thats for Solaris Express,
not Solaris9..
