Hi,
I just installed ecryptfs on my Ubuntu powered laptop and have observed
a few oddities. However, to make it easier to follow up, I will split
the issues into several postings. I would also like to add that despite
the problems that I've observed I'm already getting more mileage out of
ecryptfs than encfs, which I used previously; thunderbird runs much
faster when dealing with 1GB+ mailfiles residing in an encrypted directory!
First out is the fact that the encrypted file system is always mounted
with the flags "noexec,nosuid,nodev". The "noexec" flag in particular
is problematic since I keep some executable files in the encrypted
directory.
Is this a feature/restriction with encryptfs or could the behavior be
due to my system setup?
System info:
os: Ubuntu Feisty
kernel: 2.6.21.7 (no patches)
ecryptfs module: from ecryptfs-20070821.tar.bz2
ecryptfs utils: from ecryptfs-20070821.tar.bz2
Thanks,
Stefan
