Hi all, yesterday I wanted to create a git repository in my ecryptfs protected folder, but was met with an error. It's easily reproducible: $ git init Initialisierte leeres Git-Repository in /home/marlin/Private/.git/ $ touch blafoo $ git add blafoo error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database .git/objects error: bla: failed to insert into database error: unable to index file bla fatal: Hinzufügen von Dateien fehlgeschlagen When researching, I found out that this ONLY happened within the ecryptfs Private folder - not outside of it in my home folder. I then checked dmesg and was met with a LOT of errors of ecryptfs saying "Error opening lower file for lower_dentry..." and "ecryptfs_i_size_read: Error attempting to initialize the lower file for the dentry with name..." - and then a filename that looks like a SHA1 hash, which to my knowledge is how git object files are named. A list of these errors is at the end of the mail. My dmesg is completely full with such errors, there are a few with different file names but the vast amount is indeed git object files, for some reason? And I don't understand why this error happens at all. There seems to be something wrong here and I would like to know how I can fix this before everything blows up and I lose data. My system is running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS with Kernel 4.4.0-72. My home folder is on an nfs4 network mount. I have been using ecryptfs for like 2 years without noticing any problems previously. Can you help me? Googling for these errors didn't turn up any solution. Best regards, Natanji ...
