A few years before I have tested ecryptfs because there was an
enthusiastic aufs user trying ecryptfs branch, and found several
problems. All were reported to LKML, but not fixed at that time.
Later the user stopped using aufs. So there is no reason for me to
support broken ecryptfs branch.
Note the problems may be fixed now. Simply I don't follow the changes in
ecryptfs since then.

It means this fuse based filesystem returns 0 as statfs.f_namelen which
aufs cannot handle. If encfs supports it correctly (return 255 or
something), then you may be able to use it as aufs branch.
