Setup: Gentoo linux 2.6.39-r2
encfs 1.7.2
fuse 2.8.5
I recently had an incident with encfs where I inadvertently (as root),
ran a script that mounts a users encfs directory.
I'm also in the midst of upgrading my OS so am running a newer kernel
shown above. Not sure what other newly installed things may have
influenced events.
The script is just a wrapper that calls
encfs /path/.rawdir /path/.dir
to mount an encfs volume. The script failed but not like it should.
It seems to have put the target directory in a bad status of some
kind.
I killed the root called mount shown in ps wwaux output.
I've rebooted (for other reasons) but still what was once an encfs
mount target, when I call `ls' on it I see:
$ ls .junk
ls: cannot access .junk: Transport endpoint is not connected
And if I view it with emacs in dired mode (dired shows a long ls of a
filesystem)

Notice all the question marks preceding directory `.junk'
How can I back this out and recover my directory and contents?
I do have backups of the contents so nothing has been lost. Still I'd
like to continue to use the .junk directory as mounted encfs directory.
