Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1645

I'm unable to open files from a EncFS directory using Firejail's whitelist. Although #1560 solves the problem, I would like to not have to use allow_root in EncFS.

Using --debug-whitelists:

Removed whitelist/nowhitelist path: whitelist ${HOME}/EncFS/Downloads
	expanded: /home/user/EncFS/Downloads
	real path: (null)
	realpath: Permission denied

Is possible fix it?

I'll try it out, maybe it's working.

I've found this description in man encfs:

By default, all FUSE based filesystems are visible only to the user who mounted them. No other users (including root) can view the filesystem contents.

You need to use allow_root. It applies to all filesystems based on FUSE.
