[systemd-devel] systemd encfs mount

[Kovács Gábor]

I realized that while it calls an external program for mount it need 
some more than a simple mount,
and mounted successfully an encfs calling it directly with Type=forking, 
and don't know what am I doing,
but I go to RTFM mode.

Sorry for bothering you,
Hace a nice day :)
