A harder problem is probably to determine when a file stems from an encrypted file system / block device. Am almost certain we need kernel support for that. Storing thumbnails per mount was merely a suggestion; an easier solution would simply be to not store Thumbnails for files originating from encrypted file systems / block device. However, I think the spec does need to mention files originating from encrypted file systems / block devices. Do you disagree?
