Hi, currently I am experimenting and using Ecryptfs to encrypt single directories. I am using a passphrase as key. When creating a new crypted directory, ecryptsfs writes to /root/.ecryptfs
I dont know the role of the stuff written to that file. What happens, if this file gets accidently lost? What happens, if I create more than one crypted directory of the same name (but of different paths)? How can I delete completely a crypted directory -- I mean what do I have to do beside 'rm -rf <dir>'? Unfortunately I didnt find a howto/tutorial on the web which answers questions beside "How to create a crypted dir with ecryptfs". Where can I find answers to questions like those above without diving deeply into the source and the theory of Cryptography ? :) Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards mcc
