Hi Ted,
I got a question on usage of e2fsck with -D option on EXT4 FS, where
file based encryption is enabled. Is this option supposed to work on
encrypted directories?
I have encountered a case where e2fsck gets stuck
in duplicate_search_and_fix() due to strncmp checks done in this function
on encrypted file names, which may contain NUL characters.
Also, even without -D option passed, there can be a case of duplicate
entries (i.e.,
ctx->dirs_to_hash is not NULL). In this case too we may see the same issue
in duplicate_search_and_fix() if the directory is encrypted.
Is my understanding correct? Please share your comments.
Thanks,
Sahitya.
