[Bug 1955347] Re: rsync works bad with encfs now

[Micouin Claude]

Hi Athos,
so you mean that this patch is in focal and the error I'm talking about
is a IOERR_GENERAL error?
I thought no, but I may be mistaken (surely) :-)

today's versions of rsync and encfs are
rsync 3.1.3-8ubuntu0.1
encfs 1.9.5-1build2
and Ubuntu's version was (and is) focal Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS

I've looked for the date of the first problem : it was about the 2021-
11-07.
I've searched in my /var/log/apt/history.log* and the unique file which
contains rsync is dated 2021-11-07 (the oldest log in my machine is
dated 2021-03-02).
However there is no encfs in the logs of apt. That's why I thought that
the origin of the change/bug was in the update of rsync.
I've found an old log of synaptic 2020-03-28 who says:
rsync (3.1.2-2.1ubuntu1) to 3.1.2-2.1ubuntu1.1

I've looked in ubuntu server site and found that the previous version
of rsync is dated 2021-11-06
rsync_3.1.2-2.1ubuntu1.2_amd64.deb	2021-11-06 01:09 	327K
and the date of the actual encfs is 2020-03-23.

Thank you for reading me.

Title:
  rsync works bad with encfs now

Status in rsync package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello,
  I think rsync works bad with encfs now.

  When root uses it, rsync cannot read a directory encrypted with encfs
  by a user. More precisely, it cannot read the mounted directory, the
  virtual one where the user can read the datas.

  Until now there was only a warning like this
  "rsync: readlink_stat("/home/claude/Documents_chiffres") failed:
  Permission denied (13)"
  and the software went on working (only ignoring the content of the mounted directory and of course without saving this content)

  But recently there is this more:
  "IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion"
  and because of this "skipping file deletion", the software can't work normally. The destination gets bigger more and more because the deleted files in the source are not deleted in the destination.

  Thanks for reading me.
  rsync	3.1.3-8ubuntu0.1
  Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
  Release:        20.04
