A gentle reminder to see if some one can help me with this. I have posted this to StackOverflow too, but with no results. Link to the SO question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20248427/ Thanks and regards, Raj ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raj [mail list] <rajlistuser@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, Nov 28, 2013 at 11:27 AM Subject: Mounting multiple directories using ecryptfs To: ecryptfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi List, I am using ecryptyfs to store some sensitive data in my PC (Debian wheezy). The data is in a partition and the partition is mounted automatically on bootup using /etc/fstab I have setup /root/.ecryptfsrc with correct parameters. Contents of my .ecryptfsrc are as follows: key=passphrase:passphrase_passwd_file=/mnt/usb/password.txt ecryptfs_sig=deadbeefdeadbeef ecryptfs_cipher=aes ecryptfs_key_bytes=16 ecryptfs_passthrough=n ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=n This partition is correctly getting mounted after a system reboot. So far fine. I also need to transport this sensitive data to a remote place in a USB drive securely. So I want to format a usb drive with ext2 fs and mount it using ecryptfs. I also do not want to reuse the password and want to give an one time password to each USB drive when the ecryptfs is mounted. Formatting and mounting of ext2 partition works as expected. The command I used for mounting the new usb device using ecryptfs is as follows. the password is stored (temporarily) in /root/usbpasswd.txt : mount -t ecryptfs \ -o "rw,key=passphrase:passphrase_passwd_file=/root/usbpasswd.txt,\ ecryptfs_unlink_sigs,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,\ ecryptfs_passthrough=n,ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=y" \ /mnt/usb2/ /mnt/usb2/ Instead of mounting the freshly formatted /mnt/usb2 using password in file, I am prompted for `Passphrase File` as follows: Passphrase File: /root/usbpasswd.txt Passphrase File: /mnt/usb/password.txt Passphrase File: /root/usbpasswd.txt Passphrase File: ^C What could be wrong here?
