Doesn't OS X have any filesystem-level encryption like ecryptfs or encfs on Linux? Seems like a weird oversight.
Yes it does and it is built in. But it is not supported for the boot partition.
As the parent to your post said, you can easily create encrypted disk images that grow as they are used which you can mount by double-clicking on it. OS X will then ask for the key before the image is mounted.
