With "if you were in the ~/ directory when you did these tests" you mean ALL steps I performed to install the encrypted directory as well as the test? Which directory is better suited?
I checked in "/proc/mounts" and the directory was mounted: $ cat /proc/mounts | grep Secret /home/vlc/Secret /home/vlc/Secret ecryptfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,dir=/home/vlc/Secret 0 0 The problem is that Intrepid does not boot on my PC, not even the Live- CD. Can you recommend another encryption method for Hardy? I'm not bound to eCryptfs.
