Thanks. Yea, I have discovered that indeed you can mount over an existing home folder and it appears things pretty much work.
I created a folder under /Users called .myuserid This is an name association with a login user called myuserid I can then mount as follows: encfs /Users/.myuserid /Users/myuserid and indeed it allows the encfs to be mounted on top of the normal one. There are two oddities that don't quite work right now. They are: - A file put in ~/Desktop does not show up on the Finder desktop. - If I say "Go Home" from the Finder menu, it doesn't open the home folder. Also, when I look in /Users, the home folder "myuserid" is now a link in the /Users finder window , but in terminal, it shows as a real folder. In Finder get info, it shows the link as owned by root:wheel but is shown as owned by the user in terminal. I need to think about all of this to get my head around it, but this is interesting hacking about. I'm also going to play with some options mentioned in the other article such as allow_root and see if I can improve on what I have now. BTW, let me take this opportunity to thank you for MacFuse. It's awesome and I use it with SpotlightFS, ssh and ftp as well as now playing with encfs. I'm not going to encrypt my home folder for anything mission critical at this point. :-) But, I am going to keep playing.
