That works, but it still seems wrong to me. The mount command is encfs and the unmount command is fusermount. You have to admit that is strange.
Yeah, it's a bit confusing. On my system I wrote a pair of shell scripts called 'cryptmount' and 'cryptumount' to make the process a little more automatic and intuitive.
One other question I have is if I backup the raw (~/.crypt in your example) directory and restore it to another machine should I have any trouble remounting it and getting to my data?
Nope, it'll work fine. In fact, I've sometimes burned the raw directory to a CD-R, and mounted it straight off the mounted CD. This turns out to be a pretty handy way to carry around data in a secure manner. You do have to be careful about your burning options -- Joliet doesn't like some of the filenames EncFS comes up with. Rock Ridge seems to handle them OK, though. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
