Mount encryped filesystems

Following script can be used for mounting many different encrypted filesystems that use same password:

#!/bin/bash

read -s -p "Password: " PASSWORD
sshpass -p "$PASSWORD" sudo encfs --public /mnt/data1/raw_folders/documents_raw /documents
sshpass -p "$PASSWORD" sudo encfs --public /mnt/data1/raw_folders/personal_raw /mnt/personal
sshpass -p "$PASSWORD" sudo encfs --public /var/lib/mysql_raw  /var/lib/mysql
sudo /sbin/service mysqld start
sshpass -p "$PASSWORD" sudo encfs --public /var/lib/pgsql_raw  /var/lib/pgsql
sudo /sbin/service postgresql start

echo "Mounting of encrypted folders complete."

exit 0

However, if the different folders use different encryption password then following script can be used instead:

#!/bin/bash

function mount_encfs()
{
	while :
	do
		echo "Enter encfs password for $2 : "
		sudo encfs --public $1 $2
		echo -n "Rerun encfs for $2 (y/n) : "
		read VAL1
		if [[ "$VAL1" = "n" || "$VAL1" = "N" ]] ; then
			break
		fi
		echo
	done
}

mount_encfs /mnt/data1/raw_folders/documents_raw /documents
mount_encfs /mnt/data1/raw_folders/personal_raw /personal

exit 0
