This bug is present in maverick too and as far as I can tell was introduced with the latest update of libfuse2 and fuse-utils.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Try to mount/create an encfs with fuse-utils_2.8.4-1ubuntu1.3 and libfuse2_2.8.4-1ubuntu1.3 installed, e.g. Actual results: $ encfs /home/henryk/.secure /home/henryk/_secure/ EncFS Password: fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /home/henryk/_secure: Permission denied fuse failed. Common problems: - fuse kernel module not installed (modprobe fuse) - invalid options -- see usage message $ ls -la | grep secure ls: cannot access _secure: Transport endpoint is not connected d????????? ? ? ? ? ? _secure drwxr-xr-x 11 henryk henryk 4096 2011-04-21 16:20 .secure $ fusermount -u _secure fusermount: entry for /home/henryk/_secure not found in /etc/mtab $ sudo umount _secure Workaround: Downgrade fuse-utils/libfuse2 packages (I only have 2.8.4-1ubuntu1 present, but I believe I have anecdotal evidence that 2.8.4-1ubuntu1.2 works too): $ sudo aptitude install libfuse2=2.8.4-1ubuntu1 fuse-utils=2.8.4-1ubuntu1 The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: fuse-utils libfuse2 ... $ encfs /home/henryk/.secure /home/henryk/_secure/ EncFS Password: $ ls -la | grep secure drwxr-xr-x 11 henryk henryk 4096 2011-04-21 16:20 _secure drwxr-xr-x 11 henryk henryk 4096 2011-04-21 16:20 .secure -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/744542 Title: encfs creating / mouting failed -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
