Checking to see whether the kernel supports encryption can be done by checking for the existence of the file: /sys/fs/ext4/features/encryption > i print the cmd: > /usr/sbin/xfs_io -i -c set_encpolicy /fs/scratch/tmpdir > /fs/scratch/tmpdir: failed to set encryption policy: Inappropriate > ioctl for device <=== > > Seems do not related to kconfig? Yes, the issue is that you need to create the file system (or set via tune2fs) the feature flag "encrypt". To best test the read/write paths, you should set the mount option test_dummy_encryption. The kvm-xfstests and gce-xfstests framework do all of this automatically. >From xfstests-bld/kvm-xfstests/test-appliance/files/root/cfg/fs/ext4/encrypt: SIZE=small export EXT_MKFS_OPTIONS="-O encrypt" export EXT_MOUNT_OPTIONS="test_dummy_encryption" REQUIRE_FEATURE=encryption TESTNAME="Ext4 encryption" There are a number tests that are known to fail; primarily having to do with quota support, which doesn't play well with test_dummy_encryption (that's more of a test problem than anything else). See the encrypt.exclude file in that directory for more details. Cheers, - Ted
