I am able to issue the encfs command and create a new filesystem or try and use an old one, however in both cases the fs does not mount. Issuing 'df' generatest this error: df: `/tmp/crypt': Software caused connection abort Running the encfs mount in verbose foreground mode gives me this output: encfs -v -f /tmp/crypt-raw /tmp/crypt 23:11:32 (main.cpp:467) Root directory: /tmp/crypt-raw/ 23:11:32 (main.cpp:468) Fuse arguments: (fg) (threaded) encfs /tmp/crypt Creating new encrypted volume.

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd to /tmp 2. mkdir crypt 3. mkdir crypt-raw 4. encfs -f -v /tmp/crypt-raw /tmp/crypt 5. Chose defaults (hit return when prompted) 6. Enter a password twice 7. encfs halts with no further errors although it's in foreground mode 8. issue 'df' for additional error information Actual Results: encfs is halting (it's in -f (foreground) mode). The filesystem is partially mounted in that it errors in df and can be unmounted. Expected Results: show as a mounted filesystem and encfs should stay in foreground mode. sudo emerge info Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2004 (Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.) .='update pass' *='binary update' @='/var/db move' s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move' p='update /etc/portage/package.*' ...............................................

Which fuse version are you using? Does it work with the other Version? (2.1 or 1.4)
Using fuse 2.1. I tried to emerge 1.4 but I get a build error: !!! ERROR: sys-fs/fuse-1.4 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 451, Exitcode 1 !!! no configure script found
Should work after syncing in about haalf an hour, my fault, sorry.
Good call. I emerged =sys-fs/fuse-1.4 and re-emerged encfs-1.1.10 and a quick test (see post 1) works fine. I'm not sure what's breaking this in the new fuse but I can test whatever if you pass along some instructions.
I changed the fuse dependancy to say <sys-fs/fuse-1.9 like in siefs .. seems like the interface has changed in fuse-2.1, we just have to wait for the next version, you can make a rc-ebuild if you want to use fuse-2.1 or just wait for the final version :) I think its ok to mark this as FIXED with the dep added, please tell me if it is not.
I have been developing (and using) encfs with fuse 2.1 for quite a while, however I'm not using gentoo. Would someone be willing to try out a pre-release of 1.1.11 and see if it still causes a problem? If we find the problem, I can include a fix in the 1.1.11 release, otherwise you may have to stick with fuse 1.4 for a while... There is a link to a pre-release of 1.1.11 at the top of my encfs page: http://pobox.com/~vgough/encfs.html or grab it from my download directory: http://pobox.com/~vgough/download/encfs-1.1.11-rc2.tgz (and .tgz.asc signature)
