First, here's what I'm trying to do: I'm using encfs to give myself an encrypted home directory, and I'm successfully mounting it automatically using pam_mount when I log in.
My email is processed by a .procmailrc file in my home directory, and I'm passing the email through bogofilter. So, at present I have a nearly empty home directory containing .procmailrc and .bogofilter/ which is accessed when I'm not logged in, and my "real" home directory which is available when I am logged in. This is, of course, less than optimal since I have to keep two versions of .procmailrc and .bogofilter/ in sync. I'd like to have an overlay filesystem, so the unencrypted .procmailrc and .bogofilter are still visible through a "hole" in my encrypted filesystem. I've been looking through the various union and overlay filesystems (unionfs, unionfs-fuse, aufs, overlayfs....) and (1) I'm not sure which of them are currently being developed and supported, and (2) it isn't clear any of them actually do what I want (either I can't just overlay a new filesystem on top of an existing one, or else the existing one has to be read-only). Any guidance would be appreciated! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
