I wouldnt have thought to look for that in GPG, try
	man gpg
	info gnupg

Maybe you should look at using an encrypting file system.

Some unixes have/ had eg CFS (maybe mount -r cfs ? guessing, try eg
	man mount 
	apropos cfs

More specifically:
http://www.freebsd.org supports 2:
	man gbde 
		gbde -- operation and management utility for Geom Based Disk Encryption
	man 	geli
     		geli -- control utility for cryptographic GEOM class

Doubtless Linux can offer crypting file systems too.
Try 
	apropos encrypt

Cheers,
Julian
