@wlxing: Sorry didn't see the notification until now. But actually when
i worked on this years ago it was for a SOHO demo project with desktop
clients bound via LAN to a centralized NFS Server for keeping clients
dump and still having encryption. In the end for production we switched
to laptops with no realm integration, gave up on LAN dependency and just
did push backups of eCryptFS encrypted files. Didn't try to integrate
eCryptFS over NFS any further since then :(

In server scenarios eCryptFS would be still a nice way of interactively
working with file based encryption on remote storage. EncFS is doomed
and using GPG is non-interactive. The idea of streaming a big file
through remote storage protocols and looping on top it with either LUKS
or Ext4 encryption doesn't seem too fancy although it worked when i
tested it briefly with LUKS and btrfs.

@kirkland @tyhicks Guess you're guys quite busy with a lot of stuff at
Canonical ;) But do you have an short update on this? Or do you know any
alternative to eCryptFS for using file level based encryption on remote
storage through the mentioned protocols?
