Details

Description: ecryptfs is broken in linux-lts 4.4.15-1.

This has been reported upstream and for other distributions, and a patch has been distributed: https://www.spinics.net/lists/ecryptfs/msg00816.html

The bug is due to a patch, which has since been reverted. Reverting commit: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/fs/ecryptfs/kthread.c?id=78c4e172412de5d0456dc00d2b34050aa0b683b5

However, the lts kernel source downloaded by Arch Linux, from kernel.org, doesn't include the fixing revert. It is not quite clear to me why. Read this about the guys at manjaro having problems with malformed patches: https://www.spinics.net/lists/ecryptfs/msg00825.html

Steps to reproduce
1) mount ecryptfs partition
2) Do "ls"

Result:
henry@subnote:~$ ls Private/
ls: cannot open directory 'Private/': Wrong medium type
