Can't mount home folder if it is encrypted

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff]

Glimpse can't mount encrypted home folders to its sandboxes.

"aufs test_add:222:mount[2487]: unsupported filesystem, /home/username (ecryptfs)"

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

I need to know some things before I can fix this, and I don't have any machines with encrypted home dirs. If you have an encrypted home dir, please contact me in IRC so we can sort out some stuff and I can finally fix this bug!

OK, committed experimental untested fix... Probably won't work, and that's not the best approach either... any help appreciated.

It didn't work; removing the faulty code.

Trying to mount my home dir at /mnt/: "sudo mount -t ecryptfs /home/karlis/ /mnt/" i get an error in dmesg:

[ 496.835866] Mount on filesystem of type eCryptfs explicitly disallowed due to known incompatibilities
[ 496.928192] Reading sb failed; rc = [-22]

Trying to use glimpse gives in dmesg:

Not sure if it's still broken in 0.5.x
