Re: cfs reports Input/Output error

2006-09-25 Thread Franz Schenk
Hi Sergio,

I cannot provide any help, sorry, but i can give you my own experiences.
I used to be in exactly the same situation some time ago (I also posted
to this list, check the archives for details). In the end I gave up, as
far as i know cfs simply does not work on amd64. I now use an encrypted
partition (using the loop device), which, in the end, does the same
thing, and i do not see any disadvantages compared to cfs.

Regards
Franz

Hi,

  I'm still in the same situation.  Can a few of you install cfs and try to
create an encrypted directory ( $ cmkdir somedir ) and  then mount it ( $
cfssh somedir) and check whether you can ls on the mounted directory (cffsh
will put you on the right mounted dir).  I can't live without
the cryptographic file system...  Please let me know if you manage to get
rid of the error I mentioned on my previous postings.

Cheers,

Sergio.

cfs reports Input/Output error

2006-09-22 Thread Sergio Mendoza
Hi,

  I'm using cfs on an amd64 (sid).  The Cryptographic File System (cfs) deb
package used to work fine.  Haven't used it for a while on amd64 (only on
i386) and now... it doesn't work.  I can manage to "mount" the encrypted
directory by doing:

  $ cfssh directory

  The problem is when I try to see what's inside the directory:

  $ ls
  ls: reading directory .: Input/output error

  $ echo *
  *

  My guess is that this is a problem with the way things are mounted, not
ls.  I've tried to do an strace on this, but didn't get anything.  Any
ideas on how to fix this.

Cheers,

Sergio.

Yes, this is amd64-specific.

Run dmesg or check /var/log/kern.log to see if there is any explanation
as to why.

Is this amd64-specific?
