Applies to: all actions that use a config file: mount, `-fsck`, `-passwd`, `-info`, `-init`. +In `-reverse` mode, this also changes what the encrypted view contains: by +default the config is exposed there as a virtual `gocryptfs.conf` (so a backup +of the encrypted view is self-contained), but with `-config` no `gocryptfs.conf` +is presented. Make sure to back up the config file (or the master key) from its +custom location separately, otherwise the encrypted data cannot be decrypted. +If the custom config file is located inside `CIPHERDIR`, it is hidden from the +encrypted view rather than exposed in encrypted form. + #### -cpuprofile string Write cpu profile to specified file. |
