Is this referring to the ecryptfs-utils package, or the kernel module, or both? Can eCryptfs be used on an Amazon EC2 instance, and if so, how do I get the kernel module installed? I don't have F21 up right now but I do have an F22 image running. For F22 ecryptfs kernel module is in the kernel-modules package. You need to install the kernel-modules packages for the kernel that is running and then you can insert the module. I don't know if this is the same case for F21 or not but check and see if that works for you. Hope this helps, Dusty _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
