Description Lukáš Zachar 2013-01-31 14:55:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
While reading about encfs --reverse usage, the example states that the configuration file should be supplied in the environment variable ENCFS5_CONFIG.
However doing so results in:
15:34:57 (ConfigVar.cpp:245) Assert failed: readLen == length
15:34:57 (FileUtils.cpp:360) Found config file /home/myself/_sandbox/this/.encfs6.xml, but failed to load

The solution found on [1] suggested to use ENCFS6_CONFIG as the variable name.

It seems that both environment variables can be used, but as this version creates configuration which has to be passed in ENCFS6_CONFIG, it should be definitely mentioned in the man page.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fuse-encfs-1.7.4-1.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man encfs | grep ENCFS._CONFIG
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
ENCFS5_CONFIG=/home/me/.encfs5 encfs /tmp/crypt-view /tmp/plain-view

Expected results:
ENCFS6_CONFIG=/home/me/.encfs5 encfs /tmp/crypt-view /tmp/plain-view
Some note about ENCFS5_CONFIG usage for older configuration files.

Comment 1 Marcin Zajaczkowski 2016-01-25 23:52:13 UTC 
It should be fixed by upgrading to 1.8.1 (bug 1234255) as that information was added by upstream in the man page for versions 1.8.0+.
