Thanks for the report!
As Dustin mentioned, the on-disk footprint is not duplicated when using
eCryptfs. The eCryptfs inode, as queried by the `du -h
/home/name/9726255eec083aa56dc0449a21b3319`, is an in-memory
representation of the actual on-disk inode in the lower filesystem.
Similarly, when df is reporting filesystem usage, the reported usage of
any eCryptfs mount is simply the usage amount reported by the filesystem
that eCryptfs is mounted upon.
While the output of those commands (and my explanation) may be confusing
at first, it is the expected output when dealing with a stacked
filesystem like eCryptfs.
