Subject: bad file permissions: write but no read access
Date: Fri, 01 Oct 2021 13:04:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e0af3fe10229d90357dd351b4348ec6af59f2e3f.camel@bodenbinder.de> (raw)

Hi,

I hundreds of files in my ecryptfs home which I can write (e.g. rename them) but I can not read them resp. open them. A chmod as
user or even as root is not working. 

Example:

34# file wencke-18te.xcf
wencke-18te.xcf: writable, regular file, no read permission

35# ll wencke-18te.xcf
.rw-r--r-- matthias matthias 41 MB Thu Aug  3 16:00:46 2017 wencke-18te.xcf

36# getfacl wencke-18te.xcf 
# file: wencke-18te.xcf
# owner: matthias
# group: matthias
user::rw-
group::r--
other::r--

37# chmod 644 wencke-18te.xcf
chmod: changing permissions of 'wencke-18te.xcf': Input/output error

The underlying ecryptfs directory /home/.ecryptfs/matthias/ with .Private and .ecryptfs subdirectories is readable without error.
I can rsync it to my backup server. But when I mount it from the backup server with ecryptfs-recover-private I have the same
issue.

What can I do to fix that and make the files readable again?

Matthias
