I think the problem only exists for unencrypted filenames that would previously pass (by default or) by passing the ecryptfs_passthrough option.
Unencrypted filenames work as expected on kernels <=4.4, but are inaccessable and listed as ???????? in kernels >=4.8. I've tried the mount option ecryptfs_passthrough=yes, ecryptfs_passthrough=y and ecryptfs_passthrough in the commandline: sudo /bin/mount -it ecryptfs /tmp/.files /tmp/files -o ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=32,ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=yes,ecryptfs_passthrough,ecryptfs_sig=a1b2c3...,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=a1b2c3...) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1682410 Title: ecryptfs-utils not working properly with linux kernel 4.8.0-41-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1682410/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
