Public bug reported:
I'm trying to have an encrypted home directory for a user and I did the
following steps:
1. I created the user other_user and so, the directory /home/other_user
2. I created a directory /home/.enc_other_user and changed its owner to
other_user
3. Then I opened a terminal with "sudo -u other_user -H gnome-terminal"
4. Once in there, I created an encrypted volume with encfs
/home/.enc_other_user /home/other_user -- -o nonempty. It asked for a password
so I gave it one.
5. I unmount the volume with fusermount -u /home/other_user
6. I mount the volume again with the same command as in 4. It asks me again
for the password and I enter it.
7. I change to the /home/other_user directory and copy a file with "cp
/home/getaceres/README ."
At that point it is expected that a new file is created in
/home/.enc_other_use but nothing happens here. I can see in mtab that
encfs is mounted in /home/other_user and also if I unmount it with
fusermount -u /home/other_user it doesn't give any error. At that point
(after unmounting) the new copied file is supposed to dissappear, but it
doesn't and stays as clear text.
I'm using Gutsy updated to 2007/10/03 with encfs 1.3.2-1-1.
Doing the same process described above, it was working in Feisty.
