Bernd, I did some quick testing and recursive eCryptfs mounts with no
filename encryption doesn't even pass the tests. I'm not going to try
it again with filename encryption. Unfortunately, I'm not really
interested in supporting this, so I'm going to mark this as wontfix. I
should probably write up a patch to make the 2nd eCryptfs mount fail.
I think what you're trying to do is encrypt a sub-directory with a
different key. That's a very valid use case, but eCryptfs encryption
policy is not where it needs to be to support that. Recursive eCryptfs
mounts is entirely too heavyweight to be the answer, as you're getting
two layers of encryption (with both mount-wide keys). I hope we can
work towards some level of intelligent encryption policy, but it is not
in the immediate plans.
