Hello encfs users,
I have some "slightly corrupted data" on an encfs directory which is
on an NTFS-formated external drive and is accessed from debian lenny
(encfs version 1.4.2) and mac os 10.6 (encfs version 1.5). The
encrypted directory is also synced (by unison) with a directory on the
mac os computer.
The directory itself contains a git repository.
Indeed, this is an overly complex setup, but it is too late now ;).
Here is an exemple of a corrupted file (it should normally be plain
readable ascii):
encfsctl cat ~/Crypted/ .git/config
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = fal?e??x?QZ?J?a/tes = true
I get the same result either from the linux and the mac system.
Here is the encfs configuration:
Version 5 configuration; created by EncFS 1.3.2 (revision 20040813)
Filesystem cipher: "ssl/blowfish", version 2:1:1 (using 2:2:1)
Filename encoding: "nameio/null", version 1:0:0
Key Size: 128 bits
Block Size: 4096 bytes
Each file contains 8 byte header with unique IV data.
Filenames encoded using IV chaining mode.
As far as I can tell, the problem may come from git, encfs, ntfs-3g,
fuse or unison. Can anyone here suggest a way to understand what
happened?
>From an old backup, I can tell that the .encfs5 has not been altered.
Running encfs with -vf, I could not fing anything relevant.
Regards,
