Since file level encryption has more than one user, currently ext4, f2fs and soon ubifs it would be nice to have a single tool to control fscrypto from userspace. For ext4 we have already at least two tools, one as part of e2fsprogs and another one on github[0]. IMHO the latter one is much more user friendly and intuitive to use. I as unable to find the userspace tool for f2fs. That said, what about implementing such a tool as part of util-linux to control fscrypto? We (David and I) would volunteer.
