Please send a patch if you'd like to see this fixed.

I can't imagine having the time or interest to fix this myself, as it's
such a silly thing to do.

mount.ecryptfs_private fails with: "mount: Invalid argument" when wrong passphrase inserted into the keyring

You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs,

Status in “ecryptfs-utils” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

Another stupid use case: if you insert a key in the keyring using the signature from ~/.ecryptfs/Private.sig as description, and something wrong as the passprase, you don't get a meaningful message saying that the passphrase is not the right one. Instead, you get an error from mount.

I know I shouldn't be doing that, but getting clear error messages always helps debugging.

$ keyctl clear @u
$ keyctl add user [signature] stuff @u

$ mount.ecryptfs_private
mount: Invalid argument

dmesg shows weird errors, maybe meaning something else is going wrong?
