说明
eCryptfs is a stacked cryptographic filesystem for Linux. It encrypts files at the filesystem level, storing encrypted data in a lower directory while presenting decrypted files through a mount point. Unlike block-level encryption, eCryptfs encrypts individual files, allowing encrypted and unencrypted files to coexist. Metadata is stored in file headers, making backup and recovery straightforward.
