eCryptFs error: wrong fs type

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up an encrypted folder in my home directory, but when I try to mount ecrypfts I get:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /home/mihasi/.private,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

I've installed keyutils-1.4 and ecryptfs-83 from the AUR, which seems to solve this problem for most people. Should I install some additional packages or is there another trick to get it to worK?

Re: eCryptFs error: wrong fs type

What command exactly are you using?

Re: eCryptFs error: wrong fs type

Sorry, should have pasted that as well. I copied the command directly from the ArchWiki page, only edited the paths. Here is the latest attempt:

[root@backtop mihasi]# mount -t ecryptfs /home/mihasi/.private /home/mihasi/private
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /home/mihasi/.private,                                                                                                          
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error                                                                                                                           
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try                                                                                                                           
       dmesg | tail  or so                                                                                                                                                                       

Dmesg gives this line of output every time I try the above command:

Error parsing options; rc = [-22]
