Well, encfs was around for a while before ecryptfs. Otherwise there'd have
been no reason for anyone to write a FUSE filesystem to do it.

I wasn't suggesting it as a solution so much as an opportune time to try
the alternative. I too am against fixing things by throwing them away,
it's like reinstalling - it my get rid of the problem temporarily but you
still have no idea of what the problem was or what to do should it
reoccur.
