I have successfully recovered an encrypted directory, but read-only and not mounted in the desired Private directory. Following instructions found in various places I have done the following: The original encrypted system is at "/usr/local/people/user/.Private": $ cd /usr/local/people/user $ su # root@host:/home/user# ecryptfs-recover-private --rw /usr/local/people/user/.Private INFO: Searching for encrypted private directories (this might take a while)... INFO: Found [/usr/local/people/user/.Private]. Try to recover this directory? [Y/n]: INFO: Found your wrapped-passphrase Do you know your LOGIN passphrase? [Y/n] INFO: Enter your LOGIN passphrase... Passphrase: Inserted auth tok with sig [c14bc7a7948c5a32] into the user session keyring INFO: Success! Private data mounted read-only at [/tmp/ecryptfs.A6A68CJS]. I am able to get all my data but: 1. The "--rw' option didn't work, nor did the explicit file name work for "ecryptfs-recover-private". 2. I can't figure out how to get back to normal operations. I can read all the data in the ro tmp mount, so I could copy out all the data and start over again, but is there an easier way to fully recover? Thanks.
