We are also aware of encfs 1.3 not accepting the standard mount syntax (this has been fixed in 1.4), which is why pam_mount >= 0.47 carries a special mount helper to workaround this; use fstype="encfs13" path="/dir" (instead of fstype="fuse" path="encfs#/dir") for this if you run an encfs of the 1.3 generation.

Yeah wordpress stripped the unaccepted tag. Be sure to check back with the mailing list, which is the authoritative place for rants and Q&A.

Thank you!
Is your first message missing something inbetween the two lines? (wordpress' admin section shows extra padding).

I had read pam_mount's configuration and tried adapting the fuse examples but they failed to work, can't remember for sure why (I guess the option passing issue you mention was the problem).

Indeed after an upgrade it appears to work although options doesn't seem to be received by fuse (at least it doesn't see the "nonempty"). Might be my version is not in sync with upstream, will have to take a deeper look ASAP.

…noting that the option passing issue has been resolved recently, too so that fstype="fuse" works reliably.

The correct way to use encfs — like any other fuse-based fs — is, in your case,:

(try to read an unmodified pam_mount.conf.xml which contains tons of examples)
