The standalone kernel module only builds against 2.6.16 through 2.6.21
at the moment. I need to update it sometime to build against
2.6.22. In the meantime, if you want to use 2.6.22, you can apply the
sendfile patch I posted previously to your kernel and use the
in-kernel module.
Note that the bug you hit with the in-kernel module when you attempted
to mount your entire home directory as eCryptfs is probably still in
2.6.22.11. For now, if you want to run 2.6.22, I recommend just
mounting something like a ~/secret directory, where you only work with
regular files (no pipes or other special files). Note that the next
round of kernel patches will remove the execution path on which this
oops occurred (it's already gone in the standalone module).
You had also previously mentioned that you experienced a kernel hang
when you attempted to use the most recent standalone kernel module on
2.6.21. I have tested on 2.6.21 without any problems, so I still need
to try to find a way to reproduce this.
Thanks,
Mike
