Wow, cryptmount is so easy to set up! Thank you so much, this is
fantastic. I guess to make sure it's mounted when I log in, just put
something like this in ~/.bashrc:

  mountpoint -q /home/me/crypto || cryptmount opaque

Do you know anything about the performance of large cryptmount
filesystems?  Looks like a filesystem is stored in a single user disk
file (~/crypto.fs), so it makes me wonder if it can handle (say)
several terabytes without degrading. I did a quick google search for
"cryptmount performance" but didn't see anything useful.
