+### 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
+
+#### Cloning from v6 repository, you get
+
+git annex init --version 6
+init  
+  Detected a filesystem without fifo support.
+
+  Disabling ssh connection caching.
+
+  Detected a crippled filesystem.
+
+  Disabling core.symlinks.
+(merging origin/git-annex into git-annex...)
+(recording state in git...)
+(scanning for unlocked files...)
+
+  Entering an adjusted branch where files are unlocked as this filesystem does not support locked files.
+
+Switched to branch 'adjusted/master(unlocked)'
+ok
+(recording state in git...)
+
+#### Cloning from v5 repository and upgrading, you get
+
+git annex upgrade
+upgrade . 
+  Detected a filesystem without fifo support.
+
+  Disabling ssh connection caching.
+
+  Detected a crippled filesystem.
+
+  Disabling core.symlinks.
+(merging origin/git-annex into git-annex...)
+(recording state in git...)
+
+  Enabling direct mode.
+(v5 to v6...) (scanning for unlocked files...)
+ok
+(recording state in git...)
+
+### 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.
