Category: kernel modules Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Michael Roitzsch (mroi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: patch for running eCryptfs on top of vmhgfs Initial Comment: I want to create a setup where a vmhgfs share is encrypted using eCryptfs. However, when running eCryptfs on top of vmhgfs, I am unable to create files in the mounted eCryptfs. The error message from the kernel is: Jun 12 00:32:41 Thyone kernel: [ 1441.259207] ecryptfs_initialize_file: Error attempting to initialize the lower file for the dentry with name [.Xauthority]; rc = [-2] Jun 12 00:32:49 Thyone kernel: [ 1449.405191] Error opening lower file for lower_dentry [0xffff8800798c9b00] and lower_mnt [0xffff88007b83d000]; rc = [-2] I looked through the vmhgfs and eCryptfs sources and was able to fix the problem with the attached patch. The explanation is embedded into the patch as a comment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Steve (lousybrit) Date: 2012-06-25 18:00 Message: Thanks, I will look at adding your changes.
