Comment 1 for bug 906550

Thanks, Dustin.

One part of my suggestion was to store the configuration of an ecryptfs
filesystem within the encrypted directory[1].

With encfs I can rsync the crypted directory to somewhere else and then just
mount it on the remote machine like I would on my local one. I do not have to
think about copying the ecryptfs configuration as well.

Encfs stores its configuration directly in the encrypted directory like this:

merkaba:~> ls -l /home/.ms2/.encfs5
-rw-r----- 1 root root 241 Mai 19 2008 /home/.ms2/.encfs5
