Greetings, I'm using ecryptfs with Slackware current and kernel 4.4.14. In kernel 4.4.14 was a patch introduced which make it impossilble to list the contents of a directory.[0] The mount itself works, but listing a directory results in an error "wrong medium type". Showing the contents and the file itself (presumed the name of the file is known) works. Example: henry@subnote:~$ ecryptfs-mount-private henry@subnote:~$ echo "foo bar" >Private/foobar henry@subnote:~$ ls -l Private/foobar -rw-r--r-- 1 henry users 8 Jun 27 18:13 Private/foobar henry@subnote:~$ cat Private/foobar foo bar henry@subnote:~$ ls Private/ ls: cannot open directory 'Private/': Wrong medium type henry@subnote:~$ cat Private/foo* cat: 'Private/foo*': No such file or directory henry@subnote:~$ ls .Private/ ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWZL6yY3cgf9JkRRDnGzSkFOIUQir-xo2KY6u52Ft53bpb4SnqMhgeIIl--- Output of dmesg: [ 946.181961] Error opening lower file for lower_dentry [0xffff88008d532180] and lower_mnt [0xffff8800bbf90f20]; rc = [-124] [ 946.181973] ecryptfs_open: Error attempting to initialize the lower file for the dentry with name [/]; rc = [-124] See also [1] [0] https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.4.14 [1] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/can%27t-access-ecryptfs-with-kernel-4-4-14-a-4175583163/ Regards, Henry -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ecryptfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
