Bug ID: 420424
Summary: [enhancement] Provide feedback when unable to mount
CryFS vault
Product: Plasma Vault
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ivan.cu...@kde.org
Reporter: frap...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When cryfs cannot mount a directory, the vault UI will simply not show
anything, so the user has no idea what's happening.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a test vault and unmount it
2. Remove one of its binary files (eg. rm -rf Test\
Vault.enc/A6D/713C83A158E9483F5385E96AC219E)
3. Try to mount the vault using the plasma vault UI
OBSERVED RESULT
The UI closes without any feedback, as if the vault was properly mounted, when
in fact, it did not mount.
Trying to mount it from CLI shows:
$ cryfs Test\ Vault.enc/ test
CryFS Version 0.9.9

Loading config file (this can take some time)...done
[2020-04-22 11:08:13.960] [Log] [error] Could not load blob
A6D713C83A158E9483F5385E96AC219E. Is the base directory accessible?
[2020-04-22 11:08:13.961] [Log] [error] Crashed: Input/output error
EXPECTED RESULT
The Plasma Vault UI should at the very least show this error, being very
explicit that the vault was unable to be mounted.
Ideally, it would be nice to also show some additional information, like:
- Full path for the blob (In the example, it would be ~/Test\
Vault.enc/A6D/713C83A158E9483F5385E96AC219E)
- Possible suggestions on what the cause could be (incorrect permissions? maybe
a conflict resolution by a shared service such as Dropbox? Hardware issues?
etc...)
