Hi James,

Sorry for the delayed response.  I'm one of the two maintainers of
eCryptfs.  Tyler Hicks tends to the kernel side of eCryptfs, and I
maintain the userspace ecryptfs-utils.

I'm delighted to hear that you have ecryptfs-utils working on Android!
 There was some work a little while back, and it seemed to work on
Linaro builds, but this is the first work I'm aware of, getting
eCryptfs mounting/unmounting on Android.

Do you have a comprehensive set of instructions, or perhaps a blog
post, on this?  Are there changes required upstream in ecryptfs-utils
to accommodate the build or functionality?  I would be quite keen to
getting those merged upstream, if we can test and verify the
functionality...

Cheers,
:-Dustin
