sys-power/pm-utils-1.4.1-r1 remounts filesystems with different commit option depending on battery or ac power. It causes nested ecryptfs partitions to unmount. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount ecryptfs directory under ext4 filesystem 2. Change power source from AC to battery or vice-versa Actual Results: Encrypted directory gets unmounted. Expected Results: Ideally: the remount would succeed without encrypted partition being unmounted. It seems that it would require hacking pm-utils or ecryptfs... Would be nice if it didn't remounted the filesystem with nested ecryptfs mounts. Responsible file: /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/journal-commit Quick fix: echo HOOK_BLACKLIST=journal-commit > /etc/pm/config.d/stop-remount
Isn't that more likely a bug of ecyptfs? E.g. shouldn't it rather survive remount of its parent filesystem? (I know nothing about ecryptfs, maybe it's on purpose, but general semantics are that filesystem remounts are transparent down the way)
pm-utils-1.4.1-r6: + # Punt hooks which have shown to not reduce, or even increase power usage + # (rm -f from debian rules) + rm -f "${ED}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/${PN}/power.d/{journal-commit,readahead} As Debian removes these bad files in their 1.4.1-14 patchset, I've done same for Gentoo in 1.4.1-r6 No file -> No problem
