Note: find currently complains like this:
find: failed to read file names from file system at or below
‘/tmp/linux-3.0.reverse.mnt.vNI’: No such file or directory
I have analyzed this and it is caused by the non-stable inode numbers
that gocryptfs -reverse uses. Will be fixed in a later commit.
This PR addresses the Issue #95, about "Confusing file owner for
longname files in reverse mode".
It affects only the reverse mode, and introduces two
modifications:
1) The "gocryptfs.longname.XXXX.name" files are assigned the owner and
group of the underlying plaintext file. Therefore it is consistent
with the file "gocryptfs.longname.XXXX" that has the encrypted
contents of the plaintext file.
2) The two virtual files mentioned above are given -r--r--r--
permissions. This is consistent with the behavior described in
function Access in internal/fusefrontend_reverse/rfs.go where all
virtual files are always readable. Behavior also observed in point
c) in #95 .

Due to kernel readahead, we usually get multiple read requests
at the same time. These get submitted to the backing storage in
random order, which is a problem if seeking is very expensive.

...if doWrite() can do it for us. This avoids the situation
that the file only consists of a file header when calling
doWrite.
A later patch will check for this condition and warn about it,
as with this change it should no longer occour in normal operation.
If you truncate a ciphertext file to 19 bytes, you could get the
impression that the plaintext is 18446744073709551585 bytes long,
as reported by "ls -l".
Fix it by clamping the value to zero.
The filesystem was created with a gocryptfs version that ignored
the HKDF flag (hence everything was actually encrypted WITHOUT hkdf).
Fix it by recreating it.
TestMain() runs all tests twice, once with plaintextnames=true and once
with false. Several tests mount their own filesystem and ignore the
plaintextnames variable. It makes no sense to run them twice, so
skip execution when plaintextnames is set.
Prior to this commit, gocryptfs's reverse mode did not report correct
directory entry sizes for symbolic links, where the dentry size needs to
be the same as the length of a string containing the target path.
This commit corrects this issue and adds a test case to verify the
correctness of the implementation.
This issue was discovered during the use of a strict file copying program
on a reverse-mounted gocryptfs file system.
Raw64 is supported (but was disabled by default) since gocryptfs
v1.2. However, the implementation was buggy because it forgot
about long names and symlinks.
Disable it for now by default and enable it later, together
with HKDF.
...but keep it disabled by default for new filesystems.
We are still missing an example filesystem and CLI arguments
to explicitely enable and disable it.
As we have dropped Go 1.4 compatibility already, and will add
a new feature flag for gocryptfs v1.3 anyway, this is a good
time to enable Raw64 as well.
There is no security reason for doing this, but it will allow
to consolidate the code once we drop compatibility with gocryptfs v1.2
(and earlier) filesystems.
There are two independent backends, one for name encryption,
the other one, AEAD, for file content.
"BackendTypeEnum" only applies to AEAD (file content), so make that
clear in the name.
Version 1.1 of the EME package (github.com/rfjakob/eme) added
a more convenient interface. Use it.
Note that you have to upgrade your EME package (go get -u)!
