Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Have to log out of a virtual terminal twice in order to exit virtual terminals Post 302398149 by Narnie on Wednesday 24th of February 2010 01:48:17 AM

I have tracked this problem down to a ecrypts issue.

I have a the Private ecrypts directory set up as usual except that I don't like it's automounting behaviour.

The original listing of the dir looks like:

Code:
woodnt@toshiba-laptop ~ $ ls .ecryptfs/
auto-mount   Private.mnt  sig-cache.txt.bak
auto-umount  Private.sig  wrapped-passphrase

I have renamed auto-mount to this, which prevents the auto-mounting of the ecrypts folder, which I manually mount if needed.

Code:
woodnt@toshiba-laptop ~ $ ls .ecryptfs/
NO_auto-mount   Private.mnt  sig-cache.txt.bak
auto-umount  Private.sig  wrapped-passphrase

If have have auto-mount as the original name, then I don't have to log out twice from a vtty. When I have auto-mount renamed so that ecrypt doesn't see it, I have to log out of vtty twice. This is very highly reproducible in that it occurs EVERY time. Also of note, it doesn't really matter if the private dir is "mounted" or not, which caused me to miss this. It is just renaming that one file that breaks it like this.

Anyone have any idea as to a fix?

I'll be posting a bug report in view of this as well.

Thanks,
Narnie

NAME
copyfs-mount - mounts a versioned file system SYNOPSIS
copyfs-mount version-directory mount-point DESCRIPTION
This script lets you mount a CopyFS file system. version-directory is the directory where the files and version information will be stored by CopyFS. When using CopyFS for the first time, copyfs-mount will create the required files in the version-directory before running copyfs-daemon. mount-point is the directory where the copyfs file system will be mounted. This is where the users will have access to the files. If you want to mount a CopyFS at '/mnt/fs', whose version directory is at /var/versions, you would use: root@host# copyfs-mount /var/versions /mnt/fs To unmount it, simply do: root@host# umount /mnt/fs As you would do for any other filesystem. You can also allow an ordinary non-root users to mount and unmount CopyFS filesystems provided that the user is added to the 'fuse' group. Ordinary users will be able unmount the filesystem, using the fusermount command: $ fusermount -u mount-point AUTHORS
