[Bug 432720] Re: encfs does not work with stream filename encoding

[Jens Svalgaard]

** Summary changed:

- encfs does not work with stream encoding on file names
+ encfs does not work with stream filename encoding

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: encfs
  
  encfs (version 1.4.2-2 on Ubuntu 9.04) does not work when using stream
- filename encoding. Filenames of at most 16 works fine. If you create a
- file with a name of at least 17, the actual encrypted file is created
- (with the right content), but the file cannot be accessed from the
- clear-text-mountpoint.
+ filename encoding. Filenames of length at most 16 works fine. If you
+ create a filename of length at least 17, the actual encrypted file is
+ created (with the right content), but the file cannot be accessed from
+ the clear-text-mountpoint.
  
  This works perfectly with in Ubuntu 8.04 (encfs 1.3.2-1-1) and on my
  Gentoo system (encfs 1.5).
  
  Steps to reproduce
  -------------------------
  mkdir -p /tmp/ost/rootdir /tmp/ost/mountpoint
  encfs /tmp/ost/rootdir /tmp/ost/mountpoint
  # inside encfs, select expert-mode
  # select some file encryption, e.g., AES 256-bits key, 256 bytes blocks
  # select stream encoding on file names
  # answer n (=No) to the remaining questions.
  cd /tmp/ost/mountpoint
  ls -al
  touch 1 12 123 1234 12345 123456 1234567 12345678 123456789 1234567890 12345678901 123456789012 1234567890123 12345678901234 123456789012345 1234567890123456 12345678901234567 123456789012345678 1234567890123456789 12345678901234567890 123456789012345678901 1234567890123456789012 12345678901234567890123 123456789012345678901234 1234567890123456789012345 12345678901234567890123456 123456789012345678901234567 1234567890123456789012345678 12345678901234567890123456789 123456789012345678901234567890 123456789012345678901234567890
  ls -al
  
- In the above only files with at length at most 16 is shown at the second
- ls. The remaining files cannot be accessed at all.
