Comment 1 for bug 1036418

You might also look at the mount.ecryptfs_private man page.
I always alias it to 'emount', then do

 emount m
 emount p
 emount g
 emount camera_backup
 emount gmail
 (etc...)

to mount just the bits I'm using, at places specified in
$HOME/.ecryptfs/$alias.conf ($alias being m, p, g,
camera_backup, etc). Then I rsync the encrypted directories
to geographically distributed backup points. (Because,
frankly, I have bad luck with disasters)
