Certain options like "rw" should be stripped from the mount options string before being passed to mount(). These stripped options are represented in the mountflags argument (see the section 2 mount man page). The original eCryptfs mount helper (mount.ecryptfs) does this, but the mount.ecryptfs_private helper does not. I'll write a patch to fix this.

As for the warning about "user=derjkan" option, I think that is a valid warning. Neither the kernel or the userspace side of things seem to use that option. "uid=<uid>" and "user" are valid options, I'm guessing that we meant to use one (or both) of those options instead. Dustin, any comments on this?
