Hi, thanks for checking. Personally, I can live with using some karmic packages on my desktop system. So calling it critical might be a bit too much. I reverted to full disk encryption in the mean time.

Status in eCryptfs - Enterprise Cryptographic Filesystem: Fix Released Status in “ecryptfs-utils” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: libecryptfs0 The problem shows up in Git, though I don't think it is a Git problem (though I could be wrong). The issue is that when Git tries to read a symlink on an eCryptfs filesystem, it fails with: error: readlink("link-to-file"): Invalid argument error: unable to index file link-to-file I can confirm that it works on my ext4 root partition, and it has worked in the past, so I'm fairly sure it is an eCryptfs issue. I have attached a script which demonstrates the problem. It creates a folder "test" in the current directory, initiates a git repository, adds a file and a link to that file. Here is what the output looks like for me: (/ is an ext4 partition and my home folder is eCryptfs) $ cd /tmp $ sh ~/test-script.sh Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test/.git/ Created initial commit f35f3e0: Commit file 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 file Created commit 3ffda66: commit link 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 120000 link-to-file $ cd ~/ $ sh ~/test-script.sh Created initial commit 070bd2f: Commit file 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 file error: readlink("link-to-file"): Invalid argument error: unable to index file link-to-file fatal: adding files failed # On branch master # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # link-to-file nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) Some system info: $ uname -a Linux priscilla 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 9.04 \n \l _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
