To give this a more repeatable test, here is a python file which can be used to verify. When I do
(sudo bash) mkdir src tgt mount -t ecryptfs src tgt (in window 1): python inotify_test.py (in window 2): echo hi > hi echo there >> hi I see: root@ecryptfs-natty-amd64:~# python inotify_test.py Create: /home/serge/src/hi MOdified: /home/serge/src/hi MOdified: /home/serge/src/hi so the modified inotify events are sent, but the closed-write are not. ========================= import os from pyinotify import WatchManager, Notifier, ThreadedNotifier, EventsCodes, ProcessEvent wm = WatchManager() mask = EventsCodes.ALL_FLAGS['IN_DELETE'] | EventsCodes.ALL_FLAGS['IN_CREATE'] | EventsCodes.ALL_FLAGS['IN_MODIFY'] | EventsCodes.ALL_FLAGS['IN_CLOSE_WRITE'] # watched events class PTmp(ProcessEvent): def process_IN_CREATE(self, event): print "Create: %s" % os.path.join(event.path, event.name) def process_IN_DELETE(self, event): print "Remove: %s" % os.path.join(event.path, event.name) def process_IN_MODIFY(self, event): print "MOdified: %s" % os.path.join(event.path, event.name) def process_IN_CLOSE_WRITE(self, event): print "closed write: %s" % os.path.join(event.path, event.name) notifier = Notifier(wm, PTmp()) wdd = wm.add_watch('/home/serge/src/', mask, rec=True) while True: # loop forever try: # process the queue of events as explained above notifier.process_events() if notifier.check_events(): # read notified events and enqeue them notifier.read_events() # you can do some tasks here... except KeyboardInterrupt: # destroy the inotify's instance on this interrupt (stop monitoring) notifier.stop() break ======== -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773260 Title: ecryptfs never releases the lower file -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
