Paul, I know, ecryptfs mount should not end in infinite loop, but don't take this as workaround. The verbosity=0 is needed here. Infinite loop is fixed, but without verbosity=0 mount helper will ask you (or cron) for missing values. If you (cron) enter invalid values it'll ask again (5 times at most - this is new). After that it'll fail with 'invalid value' error.
-- mount.ecryptfs takes up enormous amounts of memory when mounting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371587 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu. Status in “ecryptfs-utils” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils I have a large (>30 GB) ecryptfs partition that I do backups onto. When I mount it, mount.ecryptfs starts eating my memory at an alarming rate. I usually end up doing killall -9 mount.ecryptfs when this happens, and the partition seems to have mounted fine. This is Ubuntu 9.04 with ecryptfs-utils 73-0ubuntu6. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
