Thanks for the report. I did break the OpenSSL key module setup code in release 33. Release 34 is now available, and it should be in better shape now.

This might be bug somewhere in the kernel code. eCryptfs is supposed to recover gracefully from ecryptfsd suddenly dying at any point in time (via a timeout in the kernel module). ecryptfsd has never died for me while I was using the OpenSSL key module, so I will have to manually kill it to run some tests here. > With ecryptfs-utils-33, and 2.6.23.9, we don't even get that far: > > # mount -t ecryptfs -o > key=openssl:keyfile=/home/jayjwa/crypto/atr2-jayjwa-key.pem > /var/cache/ecryptfs/100 /home/jayjwa/.ecrypt_mp > Passphrase: > Select cipher: > Selection: 1 > Select cipher: > Selection: 2 > ... I rewrote the cipher selection code for release 33. It parses /proc/crypto and the contents of /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/crypto/ for the available ciphers. Unexpected contents for either location may cause this strange behavior; I will run some more tests to make sure everything works right for corner cases. Thanks, Mike
