Title:
cryfs (& encfs) not prohibited in /etc/updatedb.conf so
I think some solution here is needed. There are a lot of encrypted
filesystems, and I don't think the /etc/updatedb.conf file should be a
curated list of those. Given that both CryFS and EncFS are packaged in
Ubuntu, I think it's reasonable that they should be in covered by
/etc/updatedb.conf.
