Ups. Yeah, i had the Dollar in the script, but as i couldn't copy and paste i wrote it down wrong
(i will change it now above).
I don't know encfs well. I use it often, but always the same way (I always use standard).
I think that you will get all the space availabe to store suff in it.
(Mhhh.... well: just like if you create a usual folder, no?).
I used it as it was easy or looked easy to me, for folders, for files i use "gpg -c file", not because i considered it to be "better" (Well: if i don't understand the other solutions, then for me it is better

).
On sticks and such i use cryptsetup (If i know what size i want). No clue if that would work with a folder too (you probably know it better than i do ).
I use "fusermount -u DectyptedFolder" too to umount.
After making the post yesterday i thought a bit about it. I thought: "Well, it really should be that easy". But i don't want to trash my encfs folders (as they contain my private-backups like ssh-keys).

I could check online or the scripts i got, but it's easier to ask:
- Code:
if ! [[ -f $filename ]]
then
echo "file doesn't exist. Will exit"
exit -1
fi
Yes? (looks good to me ...).
