I have a broken Jaunty system with home-directory separately, located on /dev/sda3. All data in the standard-folder "/var/lib/ecryptfs/laura-bnb" no more available - only the passphrase has been recorded (to paper).
Starting a Jaunty live-cd, and on desktop using a terminal. First I mount the brocken system typing: sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda3 /mnt followed by sudo mount -t ecryptfs /mnt/home/laura-bnb/.Private /mnt/home/laura-bnb The next input requieres to insert the "passphrase" followed by the recommendable values. Resulting allways as read above! Where the command "ecryptfs-add-passphrase --fnek" to use?? :-( laura -- mount -t ecryptfs for extern discovery fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383059 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: New Bug description: Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils - ecryptfs-utils_73-0ubuntu6 with Jaunty - ecryptfs-utils_75-0ubuntu1 with Karmic Trying to discover data from a crashed system with encrypted home-directory, it is recommended to use: sudo mount -t ecryptfs /home/<username>/.Private /home/<username> But after inserting the passphrase and answering the shown options, the volume is mounted to the given mount-point - but the name of files - and volumes are still encrypted, The content is partly readable. It seem to me. the following is running wrong -> On a healthy system you will find inside /etc/mtab: "ecryptfs_sig=14140887552e0bec,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=de5d090606c60111,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16", with different _sig values but on a broken system after using above command both values are the same "ecryptfs_sig=14140887552e0bec,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=14140887552e0bec,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16", independent of choosing (y/ n) for plaintext as well for foldername decryption (y/n). These have been testet and verifyed with Jaunty and Karmic - both the same results. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
