As fas as I had understood =A0encfs, only the contents of the data file and not their =A0organisational data are encrypted (?). =A0But I may be wrong... =A0So, do I any harm to shake those partions without mounting them in =A0beforehand? How can I make a mount -o remount,user_xattr work? Do I have to re-mkfs the partions (please not..) ? Thank your very much in advance for your help!
