Filesystem boundaries

Filesystem boundaries

Hi together,
I'm new to mailing list and hope to be at the right address. I tried to
figure out how to prevent ecryptfs to cross file system borders or
exclude subdirectories of the source directory (the current setup is
that I linked a lot of directories from an encrypted disk, which don't
need encryption). I guess it's explained somewhere. So I'd rather
suggest to put it on the man page.

Greetings, Kalle

Are those subdirs basically symbol links to somewhere else not inside
the eCryptfs dir? Then those dirs won't be encrypted by eCryptfs.
For native subdirs, eCryptfs could not exclude them for being encrypted.

Hi Li,
thanks for your answer. In this case I obviously have a problem: My /
drive has 30 GB capacity (Ubuntu takes 10 GB (outside the encypted ~)
max. My data is linked to ~ from /mnt/xy and ~ contains effectively less
than 500 MB, but ~/home/.ecryptfs has about 20 GB. Can you point me into
a direction how to debug this (I know that I'm on dev list where this
doesn't belong... I opened
http://askubuntu.com/questions/317391/how-to-prevent-ecryptfs-from-crossing-filesystem-boundaries)?
