mount.fuse passes bad arguments to encfs

[shinkuro]

Binary package hint: fuse-utils

When mounting an encfs filesystem from fstab, encfs is passed arguments it does not understand. The mount.fuse script needs to be modified to recognize encfs specific parameters and pass the remaining parameters on to fuse.

philip@paquette-laptop:~$ sudo mount /media/special/
encfs: invalid option -- o
EncFS Password:
Error decoding volume key, password incorrect
philip@paquette-laptop:~$ sudo mount /media/special/
encfs: invalid option -- o
EncFS Password:
fuse: invalid argument `rw'
fuse failed. Common problems:
 - fuse kernel module not installed (modprobe fuse)
 - invalid options -- see usage message

the mount command passes the fuse arguments to encfs with the -o option, but encfs requires those arguments to be passed with the -- option.

Usage: encfs [options] rootDir mountPoint [-- [FUSE Mount Options]]

Confirming and setting package to encfs.

Bug have been reported upstream (to Valient Gough).

[Valient Gough (vgough)]

added '-o' argument which passes through to fuse, eg:

sudo mount encfs#/tmp/crypt.raw /tmp/crypt -t fuse -o debug

[Valient Gough (vgough)]

Added -o passthrough in 1.4.0

Any idea when 1.4.0 will make it into the Hardy Repository?

Fixed: 1.4.2-2 is in intrepid.
