The last time I looked at eCryptFS it /did/ need mount points for |
| 7 |
accessing the unencrypted contents. But you don't need to dedicate an |
| 8 |
entire file system to the encryption. |

I.e. /home/user/.precious is mounted on /home/user/precious |
| 11 |
|

So /home/user/precious is a mount point, but is not backed by an |
| 13 |
independent file system per say. |

Contents in /home/user/precious will be clear text while the contents of |
| 16 |
/home/user/.precious will be encrypted. |
