Mounted eCryptfs
The options in this display can then be passed directly to the command line to encrypt and mount a file
system using the same configuration. To do so, use each option as an argument to the -o option of
mount. For example:
mount -t ecryptfs /home /home -o ecryptfs_unlink_sigs \
ecryptfs_key_bytes=16 ecryptfs_cipher=aes ecryptfs_sig=c7fed37c0a341e19
