1 Hi,
2
3 On a extf4 formatted partition I have two directories (beside others,
4 non encrypted ones):
5
6 .crypt
7 crypt
8
9 .crypt contains the encrypted data.
10
11 I then mount the encrypted partionas as root with
12
13 mount -t ecryptfs /home/user/.crypt /home/user/crypt -o ecryptfs_cipher=blowfish,ecryptfs_key_bytes=56,ecryptfs_passthrough=n,ecryptfs_sig=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs,key=passphrase
14
15 (I blanked the sigs before posting)
16
17 This worked like a charm....but...
18
19 A local power fail switches my PC off while the encrypted directory
20 was mounted.
21
22 After rebooting I still was abler to execute the command given above
23 successfully, but two diorectorie below the directory 'crypt' show
24 like this:
25
26 drwxr-xr-x 6 mccramer users 4096 2012-01-07 05:05 .
