Ever since moving to an ext4+ecryptfs oneiric system, I receive this message about 6,000 times a day in /var/log/kern.log:
Oct 16 01:56:39 hostname kernel: [32384.222198] Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr region Oct 16 01:56:39 hostname kernel: [32384.222211] Either the lower file is not in a valid eCryptfs format, or the key could not be retrieved. Plaintext passthrough mode is not enabled; returning -EIO I don't know whether trailing garbage is being added to my encrypted files. But the bug about the kernel message is marked as a duplicate of this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/372014 $ uname -srvmo Linux 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509180 Title: ecryptfs sometimes seems to add trailing garbage to encrypted files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/509180/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
