+### Please describe the problem.
+
+When creating a new git-annex repository (or upgrading, or doing fsck) inside a CryFS container (FUSE-based encrypted local filesystem, similiar to EncFS), git-annex goes into direct(or adjusted, in v6) mode despite CryFS working just fine with symlinks.
+
+Indeed, a created-outside-cryfs git-annex repository works as expected when copied inside
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+1.) Install cryfs (https://www.cryfs.org/, packaged for ubuntu,debian, or build from source)
+2.) Create a CryFS container: $ cryfs container container-data
+3.) Create a git annex repository inside the container:
+
+$ cd container
+$ git init .
+$ git annex init --version 6
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+git-annex-6.20170519-1.fc26.x86_64
+
+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+
+I love git-annex.
