ecryptfs seems to be currently broken on Trusty.
System: Trusty
Linux: 3.13.0-8-generic #28-Ubuntu
ecryptfs: 103-0ubuntu2 or 104-0ubuntu1
Any attempt to mount fails with:
Unable to link the KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING into the KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING;
there is something wrong with your kernel keyring. Did you build key retention
support into your kernel?
Original reporter mentioned earlier kernel also:
------------------------------------------------
I am using the fedora 19 default kernel, which should have ecryptfs
support. I don't think something is wrong with my kernel. Nevertheless I
get this strange error message. Googling it lead to nothing, so I
suspect this is a bug in ecryptfs?
iblue@silence ~/ecrypt-test lsmod | grep ecrypt
