Public bug reported: I set up an ecryptfs volume some time ago, using aes crypto. Now, nearly six months later, after a few minor kernel upgrades, I'm unable to access the same volume from the same machine; the mount seemingly succeeds but the data remains encrypted. The only apparent anomaly in the mount process is the following:
Select cipher: 1) aes: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 32 (not loaded) Seeing that aes is not loaded (which I find strange), I try to load aes manually: # modprobe -v aes insmod /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/kernel/arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel.ko WARNING: Error inserting aesni_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/kernel/arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel.ko): No such device insmod /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-aes.ko WARNING: Error inserting padlock_aes (/lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-aes.ko): No such device But I still get aes "(not loaded)". # lsmod | grep aes aes_x86_64 7936 3 aes_generic 27631 1 aes_x86_64 # find /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/ -name 'aes*' /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/kernel/crypto/aes_generic.ko /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/kernel/arch/x86/crypto/aes-x86_64.ko /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/kernel/arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel.ko I will go back to an older kernel and see if that works better.
