Package: ecryptfs-utils
Version: 83-4
Severity: important

I wrote a bash script to rsync file from a directory to another -
encrypted - one, through ssh.

First, add "mount-wide passphrase" with ecryptfs-manager, and mount -i
/my-ecryptfs-directory.

Then, rsync files. For new files (that means, files that doesn't exist
yet in ecryptfs directory), everything goes fine.

But for files which should be updated, I get lot of "rsync: failed to
open "/my_ecryptfs_dir/my_file", continuing: Input/output error (5)"
through error output, in correlation with "Either the lower file is not
in a valid eCryptfs format, or the key could not be retrieved. Plaintext
passthrough mode is not enabled; returning -EIO" in /var/log/messages.

Surprisingly, I get the very same behavior for "new files" with --partial 
option.

I supposed it was related to the "0-length file bug" on ext
filesystem, but specifying a "--partial-dir" outside the ecryptfs mount
point doesn't help.

For files affected by the "I/O error", they appear to be "corrupted"
(can't cp, mv, ...) : the only solution is to remove them.
