eCryptfs on top of NFS isn't going to happen in the short term. Nearly
all of the eCryptfs fixes are now in place, except for one last sticking
point. The NFS maintainer is requiring that eCryptfs fix up a struct
nameidata and pass it down into NFS, but that can get ugly and is
something that the VFS maintainer is against. The VFS maintainer has
alluded to a patch set that he is working on to do away with the
nameidata passing, but it is not currently posted anywhere. When that
happens, eCryptfs has a much better chance at supporting NFS.
