allright, thanks, works!

you're right, i've got a custom startup-script i call after logging in,
which involves ecryptfs in the following way now:

mount -t ecryptfs -o
ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=n,key=passphrase:passphrase_passwd_file=/path/to/file,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_passthrough,ecryptfs_key_bytes=32
path1/ path2/


adding an "-i" ("mount -i -t ecryptfs ...") does not work, dmesg says:

[ 4539.244580] Error parsing options; rc = [-22]
[ 4548.228006] ecryptfs_parse_options: eCryptfs: unrecognized option
[ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=n]
[ 4548.228010] ecryptfs_parse_options: eCryptfs: unrecognized option
[key=passphrase:passphrase_passwd_file=/path]
[ 4548.228014] ecryptfs_parse_options: You must supply at least one
valid auth tok signature as a mount parameter; see the eCryptfs README

not sure why, but since it works withouth the "-i" now without
user-interaction, this is ok.
