### Please describe the problem. In the past archived issue ([[https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:t2N25kWAWEsJ:https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/encfs_accused_of_being_crippled/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us]]) you have left a comment So, it seems worthwhile to break out lack of hard links support from the other limitations currently lumped into "cripped file system". I've done so. did it mean that encfs should be supported without assuming it crippled any longer? I have just tried with annex 6.20160425+gitgffe2ea2-1~ndall+1 and it still considers it crippled (FWIW and for the record encfs is 1.8.1-3+b2) [[!format sh """ $> git annex init --debug init [2016-04-27 11:55:41.20934] read: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","show-ref","--hash","refs/heads/git-annex"] [2016-04-27 11:55:41.214794] process done ExitFailure 1 [2016-04-27 11:55:41.21487] call: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","show-ref","--verify","-q","origin/git-annex"] [2016-04-27 11:55:41.218775] process done ExitFailure 1 [2016-04-27 11:55:41.219362] read: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","write-tree"] [2016-04-27 11:55:41.225289] process done ExitSuccess [2016-04-27 11:55:41.225379] chat: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","commit-tree","4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904","--no-gpg-sign"] [2016-04-27 11:55:41.232881] process done ExitSuccess [2016-04-27 11:55:41.233028] call: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","update-ref","refs/heads/git-annex","243e083b39dbf3ae84014dfd9be82d93ab57feb1"] [2016-04-27 11:55:41.240395] process done ExitSuccess [2016-04-27 11:55:41.252322] call: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","config","annex.uuid","75f66b80-d877-4f33-8b32-53dff9ac7da8"] [2016-04-27 11:55:41.25768] process done ExitSuccess [2016-04-27 11:55:41.257822] read: git ["config","--null","--list"] [2016-04-27 11:55:41.263729] process done ExitSuccess Detected a crippled filesystem.
