Hi, |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I have several encfs-encrypted partions. As fas as I had understood |
| 24 |
encfs, only the contents of the data file and not their |
| 25 |
organisational data are encrypted (?). |
| 26 |
But I may be wrong... |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So, do I any harm to shake those partions without mounting them in |
| 29 |
beforehand? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Kind regards, |
| 32 |

PS: How can I make a mount -o remount,user_xattr work? |
| 35 |
Do I have to re-mkfs the partions (please not..) ? |
| 36 |
