auto-unmounting by inactivity

Thank you for that app! Could you add auto-unmounting after timeout inactivity? And add option for timeout in minutes for example.

Yes, good idea. The command-line version already supports auto-unmount using the --idle=MINUTES option. But we could add an option to the GUI as well if that's useful. @Fred: Maybe you're interested? :-)

I do miss this option, too. A mounted EncFS volume is available on the defined mount point. For me, when doing a reboot (without unmounting the EncFs before), the files in the mount point are still available after rebooting. One can also kill the cryptonic-process, the files of the EncFs are still decrypted available. Device: htc desire, kernel 2.6.38.8-evervolv-turba-ics+

An auto-unmount would be fine on time-base or for exiting the cryptonic process (even for killing him). Hope this can be done :-)

@mavrut5: It's surprising (and worrying) that your decrypted files are still available after a reboot. After a reboot, on a root terminal, what's the output of

cat /proc/mounts | grep encfs

and

ps | grep encfs

yes, I am worried about this, too.

The ROM provides a "normal" reboot (1) and an "Hot reboot" (2).

Doing the (1), the cell phone restarts completely. The EncFS is encrypted and NOT available without starting cryptonite. This is fine :-)

Doing the (2), the ROM restarts. Now the EncFS partition is still mounted. See the attachement for the desired output. Maybe this is ROM specific and hardly to fix - I do not know.

Hope this helps.

Best regards.
