Supplementary tools (unmount, change password)
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Hi,
can you provide the supplementary tools 'fusermount' and 'encfsctl' as well so we can gracefully unmount and change passwords of mounted folders?
encfsctl is generated during the build process, but it's too large to be packaged with the cryptonite apk - it would more than double its size.
I've never tried to build fusermount for Android. Looking at the code, it makes many assumptions that will only hold for desktop Linux distributions but not for Android - I doubt it would be useful or even run without major modifications.
Maybe one can copy the metafile to desktop system to change the password there (not checked yet). But more important is unmounting. The binary already supports auto-unmounting if i get that right. Can you modify it maybe somehow to support manual unmounting as well?
You should be able to use umount for unmounting.
You're right. On a second test i can unmount it without problems. Not sure why it didn't work for me previously. I didn't even get an error message. Unmounting looked properly at first but the mounted content was still there. So yes, fusermount is useless then indeed. I thought it would be mandatory for unmounting. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Can you provide the encfsctl binary externally on your homepage so we can optionally get it on demand?
