Bug description:
When too long of a passphrase is entered, eCryptfs will return the following error message, which while technically correct could be (I think? Would this hurt security?) more specific.

"Error attempting to evaluate mount options: [-22] Invalid argument                                                                           
Check your system logs for details on why this happened.                                                                                     
Try updating your ecryptfs-utils package, and/or
