When using mount -i, a user will never be prompted for an eCryptfs
password. The eCryptfs mount helper, which is what prompts the user for
their password, will be bypassed when using the -i flag.
If the keys specified in the ecryptfs_sig and ecryptfs_fnek_sig mount
options are already loaded into the kernel keyring, then the mount will
succeed. Otherwise, the mount will fail.
The keys may still be in the keyring if they were not cleared after
inserting them into the keyring previously. The eCryptfs umount helpers
do this, depending on certain options. To clear the keys manually, use
the keyctl unlink command.
eCryptfs is working as expected here so I'm marking this bug as invalid.
** Changed in: ecryptfs-utils (Ubuntu)
