Is ecryptfs behind the scenes when I run /sbin/cryptsetup ? |

I remember a few years back, still on debian, I resolved to replace my |
| 9 |
encfs usage with something more "modern" (phew) just to avoid getting |
| 10 |
left in the cold with no support, as may be happening to Meino. The |
| 11 |
first such modern thing that came to mind was what ubuntu (and maybe |
| 12 |
debian) used to mount encrypted filesystems on boot, and I think that |
| 13 |
was called ecryptfs, but that was so very complex and opaque that I |
| 14 |
didn't get far. After a while I found my current way usign cryptsetup. |

But the ubuntu stuff may have been just wrapping and packaging, hence |
| 17 |
my question. |
