Description Forgotten User sZOYI8rJY8 2016-07-15 11:40:43 UTC
summary:
after updating kernel 4.1.26-21-default to 4.1.27-24-default for Leap 42.1-Update an ecryptfs directory correctly mounted cannot be listed anymore, where files are still accessible by name. This bug was reported elsewhere for other kernel versions, but so far not for 4.1.x. Booting again with 4.1.26-21-default brings normal behavior back.

How to reproduce:
boot 4.1.27-24-default
mount an ecryptfs-encrypted directory
ls in that directory fails with error message:
Wrong medium type 
ls filename (where filename is a known and existing filename) works correctly
    
this bug is critical for users with encrypted home or essential files in an encrypted directory
