I've just downloaded and tried this and found a few problems. For reference I'm on 64-bit Linux system with boost 1.42 and had to configure encfs with: ./configure --with-boost-serialization=boost_serialization-mt --with-boost- filesystem=boost_filesystem-mt Failure to give these flags results in errors such as: checking for boostlib >= 1.34... yes checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes configure: WARNING: BOOST_CPPFLAGS -I/usr/include checking whether the Boost::Serialization library is available... yes configure: error: Could not link against ! If you do give the longer configuration then it doesn't compile. The problem given here is: FileUtils.cpp:127:30: error: boost-versioning.h: No such file or directory and indeed the file is nowhere to be found. However, commenting out the #include line does mean that the code does compile. Then another problem occurs. Consider the following sequence of events: $ mkdir ~/1 ~/2 $ encfs/encfs ~/1 ~/2 Creating new encrypted volume. Please choose from one of the following options: enter "x" for expert configuration mode, enter "p" for pre-configured paranoia mode, anything else, or an empty line will select standard mode. ?> Standard configuration selected. Configuration finished. The filesystem to be created has the following properties: Filesystem cipher: "ssl/aes", version 2:2:1 Filename encoding: "nameio/block", version 3:0:1 Key Size: 192 bits Block Size: 1024 bytes Each file contains 8 byte header with unique IV data. Filenames encoded using IV chaining mode. File holes passed through to ciphertext. Now you will need to enter a password for your filesystem. You will need to remember this password, as there is absolutely no recovery mechanism. However, the password can be changed later using encfsctl. New Encfs Password: Verify Encfs Password: $ echo secret > ~/2/file $ cat !$ cat ~/2/file secret $ ls -l ~/1 total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 jim jim 15 2010-06-17 17:50 JfuHEDzc8159dMXOwWP6ws1H $ fusermount -u ~/2 $ encfs/encfs ~/1 ~/2 17:50:35 (FileUtils.cpp:190) Invalid version 0 - please fix config file 17:50:35 (FileUtils.cpp:406) Archive exception: XML start/end tag mismatch - creator 17:50:35 (FileUtils.cpp:357) Found config file /home/jim/1/.encfs6.xml, but failed to load Creating new encrypted volume. Please choose from one of the following options: enter "x" for expert configuration mode, enter "p" for pre-configured paranoia mode, anything else, or an empty line will select standard mode. ?> So it would appear that the problem with boost 1.42 isn't fixed. At least for me. I've attached the offending .encfs6.xml file so we can determine if it's reading or writing the file that's the problem. Many thanks for your help, Jim.
