I made a couple small adjustments to the /usr/sbin/filemnt script to allow it to work with encrypted pup_save files, as long as they follow the crypt[ax] convention that Puppy uses. It has been tested with a real pup_save_crypta.2fs file and with a fake pup_save_cryptx.2fs file.

Note: The encryption detection isn't amazingly smart - it basically just looks to see if the strings '_crypta' or '_cryptx' exist somewhere in the filename, and uses the latest one it finds. So if for some reason you have unencrypted files that include that string somewhere, this may cause you problems.

Tested in 4.2.1 only, but should work in any 4.x Puppy, and probably any 2.x and 3.x Puppy, but I'm not certain.

If this screws things up, you should be able to replace your original by grabbing it from /initrd/pup_ro2/usr/sbin/filemnt and placing it in /usr/sbin/filemnt, overwriting the new one.

Here is a version for Puppy 5.25. I only tested it on 5.25, but it probably works on other 5.x puppies, and maybe others. I'm also attaching the diff, so anybody who wants to apply this to newer versions can do so. It's pretty simple, just a couple easy changes.

There were no real changes to my modifications of the code, other than a very slight tweak to avoid an unnecessary error message. Pretty much just a matter of copy/pasting my modifications from the 4.x version of the script into the 5.x version. So, if you still use Puppy 4 or whatever, you can just use the first version of this.
