Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with an ecryptfs-encrypted home directory. I'd
like to periodically backup my homedir to an untrusted location. To
this end, I use storebackup to backup my encrypted homedir
/home/.ecryptfs/klauer to /var/local/backup and periodically rsync
/var/local/backup to the untrusted backup server.

For the recovery test, I did (as root)

ecryptfs-recover-private /var/local/backup/default/2012.05.16_00.00.02/.Private/

mounting and decrypting my homedir to a location in the /tmp
directory. ecryptfs-recover-private says everything was successful,
however, while the mounted homedir contains *the correct directory
structure, file names, directory time stamps, etc., the file data
themselves are missing. For example, a ls -l in the mounted homedir
yields

ls: cannot access examples.desktop: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access mbox: No such file or directory
total 60

The relevant line of the mount output looks like:

/var/local/backup/default/2012.05.16_00.00.02/.Private on
/tmp/ecryptfs.xxxxxxxx type ecryptfs
(ro,ecryptfs_sig=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy,ecryptfs_fnek _sig=zzzzzzzzzzzzzz,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_k ey_bytes=16)

An strace of ls -l shows that getdents() returns the entry of, say,
examples.desktop, but lstat() fails with ENOENT.

What am I missing?

Best regards,
Alexander
