The bad points with using an encrypted fs maybe in the OT case, is that
to move the encrypted file to somewhere else, you need to move the
hardware containing the fs :-(. Also, it doesn't allow changing the
encryption key very often. I think an encrypted fs addresses other
security/confidentiality issues, but then the OT should be more precise
about his needs/the context.

My 2 cents.
