Subject: [PATCH] ecryptfs: remove debug as mount option, and warn if set via modprobe
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 11:50:19 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <476959DB.1030507@redhat.com> (raw)

ecryptfs_debug really should not be a mount option; it is not per-mount,
but rather sets a global "ecryptfs_verbosity" variable which affects all
mounted filesysytems.  It's already settable as a module load option, 
I think we can leave it at that.

Also, if set, since secret values come out in debug messages, kick
things off with a stern warning.
