I have successfully configured and used a GBDE. I followed these instructions: http://0x06.sigabrt.de/howtos/freebsd_encrypted_image_howto.html Easy. No problem. However, when I place the backing-store-file on a mounted sshfs (fuse) volume, it no longer works. Specifically, when I issue command: gbde init /dev/md0 -i -L /etc/gbde/md0 and save the resulting file that opens in my editor (without making any changes, as usual), after typing in my passphrase twice, I get this error: Enter new passphrase: Reenter new passphrase: gbde: write: Input/output error # Is this expected ? Is this a specific problem with fuse-fs, or would this fail if I tried to put the backing store on any kind of other mounted abnormal filesystem ? (say an NFS mount, or another md-backed mount point) Any comments ? I would really like to get this to work and would be happy to run more tests if someone could suggest some. thanks.
