I found: http://osdir.com/ml/file-systems.ecryptfs.devel/2007-11/msg00016.html So I replaced the symlink with a static file and ecryptfs works again. # rm /etc/mtab # cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab this bug is reported as "rawhide", but with ...fc15... ecryptfs-utils package. What is correct? Fedora 15 or rawhide (Fedora 16) ? sorry, I reported it short before the Fedora 15 release, but I mean the one in Fedora 15. I have not tried setting up ecryptfs on a freshly installed Fedora 15. (rawhide is Fedora N+1 since Fedora N aplha) I've just tried to reproduce it in Fedora 15 with latest ecryptfs-utils package (ecryptfs-utils-87-1.fc15.x86_64) and it was working fine. Please wait till new package gets pushed in updates-testing repository (should happen within 24 hours), update ecryptfs-utils (yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing ecryptfs-utils) and retest if it's fixed for you. Thanks Does not work with ecryptfs-utils-87-2.fc15.x86_64 (from updates-testing) - same error related to mtab symlink. Thanks for reporting this. I've just find computer where I can reproduce this. I'll look at it Same problem here on a clean Fedora 15. I have ecryptfs 87-2.fc15 (32 bits). Created attachment 501615 [details]
Patch proposal
Please find attached a patch proposal.
Basically, it no longer attempts to update mtab if it is a symbolic link since it is not needed (and updating will fail anyway).
Note that this has not been reviewed upstream yet but I have confirmed on my machine that it works as expected.
