Still doesn't work, with the same errors.

I wonder if there's anything odd with the passphrase. I can use either the output of ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase or my users' log in password (which was the same one on that HD).

"mounting eCryptfs: [-2] No such file or directory" when trying to mount encrypted home

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

When trying to mount my encrypted home from an external disc, doing the following command:
mount -t ecryptfs -o ecryptfs_sig=<FIRST_SIG>,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=<SECOND_SIG>,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16 SRC_DIR TARGET_DIR

I get "mounting eCryptfs: [-2] No such file or directory"

The current workaround is:

- sudo su -
- keyctl clear @u
- keyctl list @u
(should be empty)
- ecryptfs-insert-wrapped-passphrase-into-keyring /path/to/your/wrapped-passphrase
- keyctl list @u
- mount.ecryptfs /path/to/your/encrypted/data /mnt/your/mount/dir
(it will first prompt you for a passphrase)

Open another terminal and run:
- ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase /path/to/your/wrapped-passphrase
- copy and paste that long/random passphrase back into your other terminal, where you're doing the mount, this is your mount passphrase
- select (aes, 16, no passthrough)
- select yes for filename encryption
- in your other terminal, tail -n1 /path/to/your/Private.sig
- this is your fnek sig
- copy and paste this into your mount window
- Enter

You should have it mounted, but maybe not something you should use reliably.
