Is there a simple way to tell if I'm using ecryptfs on my home directory? I tried running the ecryptfs-migrate-home script a while ago, and it failed part way through. I assumed that it went back to using my old plain, unencrypted home, but I just noticed that /home/.ecryptfs/naught10t/.Private exists, and has lots of files in it...
If ecryptfs is being used, your home folder will be mounted. You can check if it is with this command:
df -T
When I run it, I get this result:
kalle@Kalle-PC:~$ df -T

/home/kalle/.Private ecryptfs 861466440 138769200 678937216 17% /home/kalle
I have several drives on my system, but the last line is the relevant one. It shows that /home/kalle/.Private of type ecryptfs is mounted to /home/kalle, which is my home directory.
Run df -T on your system and check the results.
