Why does the eCryptfs daemon crash my kernel?
Asked by
Dustin Kirkland
You are probably using a kernel with the netlink interface to the userspace daemon. The netlink interface with the userspace daemon is buggy and obsolete.
To resolve the issue, there is a patch to migrate eCryptfs from using netlink for kernel-daemon communications to using a device handle instead. This patch has been merged into the -mm tree, and we anticipate that this patch will find its way into kernel release 2.6.26. In addition to this patch, you will need ecryptfs-utils release 44 or greater.
