android 6 mounting visibility issue
Opened this issue · 6 comments
I upgraded to android 6 and I was able to mount the volume. I use command line to mount multiple volumes in my own app and that works as well. However.
- the mounted files are visible under
a. cyanogenmod file manager
b. android gallery
c. Google photos - But they are not visible under
a. ES file explorer (the directory appears empty)
b. other viewers (quick pic, fast image viewer) even if opened from CM file manager. - And after opening a few files, the mount disappears from CM file manager as well.
I can elaborate further if nobody has seen this happen.
Device: LG G4
ROM - cm-13.0-20160317-NIGHTLY-h811
Root: CM native root. In recent past chainfire SU has never worked for mounting. only CM SU works.
command line used in my app
"echo '" + password2 + "' | /data/data/csh.cryptonite/encfs --public --stdinpass -o nonempty " + externaldrive + "crypt/crypt " + externaldrive + "/Android/data/csh.cryptonite/crypt \n";
I confirm: I have the same problem, with a different phone, except I can see files only with cyanogenmod file manager.
Device: LG G3
ROM - cm-13.0-20160409-NIGHTLY-d855
Root: CM native root.
I used the UI. I don't know the command line
I can confirm similar behaviour as well. If I mount it (either via the app or using the encfs binary directly—even with the public flag), the mounted directory appears empty for third party apps.
Exploring the directory using a terminal shows contents only when logged in as root. Even cryptonite's internal file browser won't show any files. The built-in Android file manager (found in settings->storage->explore) however is able to show the contents of the mounted directory.

Root: CM native root
Just writing to say I am also experiencing the exact same issue - content of mountws folder is not visible to 3rd party apps.

Have you guys tried the mount-master option in SuperSU (1.93 and up)? I used this with the truecrypt binary in /data/data/csh.cryptonite with success, though each process needs to be running first.
su --mount-master -c <command>

Tried mount master and didn't work. What did you mean by each process needs to be running first?
I usually need to open the necessary apps first, like my file manager or text editors first. Then I press home and run the command in terminal emulator. When I return to my apps, I do a refresh and I will see the files.
