Greetings, I am having the error as per subject when I am using the openssl (passphrase) key type, the thing is I don't get this error when using the passphrase as key type. Below is the steps using openssl as key type, appreciate someone can help to advise what are the mistake: (A) Create test.pem public/private cert using using "ecryptfs-manager" (B) List of commands to mount the disk and result output: # mount -t ecryptfs /secure/.s3 /secure/s3 Select key type to use for newly created files: 1) openssl 2) passphrase 3) tspi Selection: 1 PEM key file [/root/.ecryptfs/pki/openssl/key.pem]: test.pem Method of providing the passphrase: 1) openssl_passwd: Enter on Console 2) openssl_passwd_file: File Containing Passphrase 3) openssl_passwd_fd: File Descriptor for File Containing Passphrase Selection [openssl_passwd]: 1 Passphrase: Select cipher: 1) aes: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 32 (not loaded) 2) blowfish: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 56 (not loaded) 3) des3_ede: blocksize = 8; min keysize = 24; max keysize = 24 (not loaded) 4) cast6: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 32 (not loaded) 5) cast5: blocksize = 8; min keysize = 5; max keysize = 16 (not loaded) Selection [aes]: Select key bytes: 1) 16 2) 32 3) 24 Selection [16]: Enable plaintext passthrough (y/n) [n]: Enable filename encryption (y/n) [n]: Attempting to mount with the following options: ecryptfs_unlink_sigs ecryptfs_key_bytes=16 ecryptfs_cipher=aes ecryptfs_sig=74c90d4c6548e015 WARNING: Based on the contents of [/root/.ecryptfs/sig-cache.txt], it looks like you have never mounted with this key before. This could mean that you have typed your passphrase wrong. Would you like to proceed with the mount (yes/no)? : yes Would you like to append sig [74c90d4c6548e015] to [/root/.ecryptfs/sig-cache.txt] in order to avoid this warning in the future (yes/no)? : no Not adding sig to user sig cache file; continuing with mount.
