That's a nice solution, particularly for encryption... especially once =
the GUI file managers are able to indicate the settings.... It would se=
em to be necessary to allow these parameters to be set in the root, but=
 otherwise nice.

I'm not sure if it negates the value of having default "preferences" st=
ored somwhere... certainly it would take longer to implement, but maybe=
 the default parameters for all these settings are simply equivalent to=
 whatever is defined in the root of each filesystem... so really one so=
lution can be a subset of the other.
