I created two directories in home, and mounted them with default configurations with encfs.
That worked well enough, the file system is mounted and encrypted fine.
The odd part now is that I cannot unmount it without elevated privileges, with fusermount.
$ fusermount: failed to unmount [path]: Permission denied
Which permission might be needed?
Digging a little, the error seems to be from umount2()
Note, I am not a member of the group 'fuse', but read and write permissions to fusermount has been given to everyone. I do not have root/sudo access.
