Public bug reported: I found an unexpected behavior while experimenting with the export command in encfsctl.
My encrypted directory is called BBB: it contains several files pict*.jpg and a subdirectory 'yy' $ encfsctl export BBB EEE EncFS Password: The directory "EEE" does not exist. Should it be created? (y,n) y $ ls -l total 96376 drwxr-xr-x 3 chauveau users 4096 2008-01-21 21:25 BBB/ drwx------ 2 chauveau users 4096 2008-01-21 21:41 EEE/ -rwx------ 1 chauveau users 2041364 2008-01-21 21:41 EEEpict0006.jpg* -rwx------ 1 chauveau users 2010187 2008-01-21 21:41 EEEpict0007.jpg* ... drwxr-xr-x 2 chauveau users 4096 2008-01-21 21:41 EEEyy/ $ ls -l EEE total 0 There is obviously a bug in the generation of the output paths. The files themselves are fine. The obvious workaround is to specify an export directory ending with /: $ encfsctl export BBB EEE/ EncFS Password: $ ls -l EEE total 96356 -rwx------ 1 chauveau users 2041364 2008-01-21 21:54 pict0006.jpg -rwx------ 1 chauveau users 2010187 2008-01-21 21:54 pict0007.jpg ... drwxr-xr-x 2 chauveau users 4096 2008-01-21 21:51 yy === Package: encfs Versions: 1.3.2-1-1 (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_universe_binary-i386_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status) Description Language: File: /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_universe_binary-i386_Packages MD5: 548b455c473b2471eae5efe6de874f33 ** Affects: encfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- encfsctl export adds prefix instead of directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184905 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
