And thereby limit what filesystem can be in there? That is
a rather gross layering-violation and not a good idea.
Do not forget that backup and restore need to be tested
and the backup done regularly anyways if the data has any
worth. I an not asking people to do anything new. (Well,
except for those with only throwaway-data in their encrypted
containers....)
