Hi, I'd like to mount an ecryptfs file system with the "-o xattr" option (assuming that it would improve performance of stat calls).
I've mounted the underlying ext4 file system with "user_xattr" and made sure that setting xattrs with "setfattr" works as it should. But after mounting with "mount -t ecryptfs -o xattr", the feature doesn't seem to work: files are still at least 12K big, "mount" doesn't show "xattr" among the options of the ecryptfs mount, and "getfattr" on the underlying files doesn't show anything. Any ideas where to look for the problem? There isn't anything about ecryptfs in syslog, except for mount.ecryptfs: Error initializing key module [/usr/lib/ecryptfs/libecryptfs_key_mod_gpg.so]; rc = [-22]" which seems to be unrelated. # uname -a Linux neko 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Wed May 18 23:13:22 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux Cheers, Hagen _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
