Bug Description
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils
I migrated home dir on reiserfs to ecryptfs via /usr/bin/
some files were not migrated, because of long file names
i recommend to add check for file names length supported by ecryptfs prior migration (like check for available free space and used files)

I'm still trying to figure out how to disable file name encryption in ecryptfs. I know there's an option you can pass while mounting manually, but I can't find anything anywhere about how to set up en encrypted home that automatically never encrypts file names. It would be nice if the `ecryptfs- migrate- home` command had a flag that allowed you to specify exactly that, and hence not make yourself susceptible to bug #344878.
