Description Michal Nowak 2009-05-19 09:27:54 UTC 
Description of problem:

[root@hp-ml370g4-01 openssl-keyfile]# mount.ecryptfs secret/ secret/ -o "key=openssl:openssl_keyfile=mykey.pem:openssl_passwd_file=passfile.txt,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,verbosity=0"
Error attempting to evaluate mount options: [-1] Operation not permitted
Check your system logs for details on why this happened.
Try updating your ecryptfs-utils package, and/or
submit a bug report on https://launchpad.net/ecryptfs

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ecryptfs-utils-75-2.el5

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fill the keyring with a bunch of (big) keys
2. mount.ecryptfs with openssl key, when the key is itself bigger than the space in keyring left, the mount operation end with not-that-sane error msg
  
Actual results:

"Error attempting to evaluate mount options: [-1] Operation not permitted"

Expected results:

"Keyring full (...)" at least, some advice on enlarging the keyring space would be useful, if possible.
