Hi, I have posted this before on -questions and -hackers, and gotten no response.
Basically, I have remote storage that I can access over ssh (from rsync.net, who I _love_) and I use sshfs in FreeBSD 6.0 ports tree to mount my filesystem locally. I followed this FreeBSD sshfs tutorial: http://www.rsync.net/resources/howto/freebsd_sshfs.html The good news is, it works great. The bad news is, I cannot create a GBDE in the mounted sshfs. Here are the details: When I place the backing-store-file (for my GBDE) on a mounted sshfs (fuse) volume, it no longer works. Specifically, when I issue command: gbde init /dev/md0 -i -L /etc/gbde/md0 and save the resulting file that opens in my editor (without making any changes, as usual), after typing in my passphrase twice, I get this error: Enter new passphrase: Reenter new passphrase: gbde: write: Input/output error # Is this expected ? Is this a specific problem with fuse-fs, or would this fail if I tried to put the backing store on any kind of other mounted abnormal filesystem ? (say an NFS mount, or another md-backed mount point) Any comments ? I really want an offsite encrypted volume. I have the offsite from rsync.net, and the transport is encrypted via sshfs, but I am paranoid and do not want them (or anyone) to see the contants, so I want to just upload a single 2gig file and make a GBDE on it. thanks. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
