2019-03-31Allow "nofail" for /etc/fstab useJakob Unterwurzacher
2019-03-26reverse mode: support wildcard exclude (--exclude-wildcard)Eduardo M KALINOWSKI
This adds support for gitignore-like wildcards and exclude patters in reverse mode. It (somewhat) fixes #273: no regexp support, but the syntax should be powerful enough to satisfy most needs. Also, since adding a lot of --exclude options can be tedious, it adds the --exclude-from option to read patterns from a file (or files).
2019-03-03Allow multiple -extpass argumentsJakob Unterwurzacher
To support arguments containing spaces, -extpass can now be passed multiple times. https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/289
2018-12-15passfile: directly read file instead of invoking catJakob Unterwurzacher
Allows better error handling, gets rid of the call to an external program, and fixes https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/278 .
2018-10-11Updated manpage for -idle flagJesse Dunietz
2018-08-15trezor: document -trezor in man pageJakob Unterwurzacher
Also fix "--", which was shown as just "-" in the man pager.
2018-08-15main: add -e as an alias for -excludeJakob Unterwurzacher
2018-08-11reverse mode: add --exclude optionJakob Unterwurzacher
https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/235
2018-07-07MANPAGE: add proper description textJakob Unterwurzacher
We only had an "options" section which was mislabeled as "description". Add a proper description text.
2018-06-12Update README and MANPAGE for v1.5v1.5Jakob Unterwurzacher
Also update the performance numbers. I see some slowdown, reason is not yet clear, but nothing to block the release.
2018-04-03fsck: report skipped corrupt filesJakob Unterwurzacher
OpenDir and ListXAttr skip over corrupt entries, readFileID treats files the are too small as empty. This improves usability in the face of corruption, but hides the problem in a log message instead of putting it in the return code. Create a channel to report these corruptions to fsck so it can report them to the user. Also update the manpage and the changelog with the -fsck option. Closes https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/191
2018-03-22Add `-masterkey=stdin` functionalityJakob Unterwurzacher
https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/218
2018-02-03MANPAGE: improve markdown renderingJakob Unterwurzacher
The man page is rendered on github at https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/blob/master/Documentation/MANPAGE.md . Improve formatting a little.
2018-01-20MANPAGE: improve description of -o and -koJakob Unterwurzacher
Was unclear for new users - see https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/194
2018-01-10Fix spellingFelix Lechner
2017-11-21main: Add '-devrandom' commandline optionSebastian Lackner
Allows to use /dev/random for generating the master key instead of the default Go implementation. When the kernel random generator has been properly initialized both are considered equally secure, however: * Versions of Go prior to 1.9 just fall back to /dev/urandom if the getrandom() syscall would be blocking (Go Bug #19274) * Kernel versions prior to 3.17 do not support getrandom(), and there is no check if the random generator has been properly initialized before reading from /dev/urandom This is especially useful for embedded hardware with low-entroy. Please note that generation of the master key might block indefinitely if the kernel cannot harvest enough entropy.
2017-11-12main: add "-sharedstorage" flagJakob Unterwurzacher
At the moment, it does two things: 1. Disable stat() caching so changes to the backing storage show up immediately. 2. Disable hard link tracking, as the inode numbers on the backing storage are not stable when files are deleted and re-created behind our back. This would otherwise produce strange "file does not exist" and other errors. Mitigates https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/156
2017-10-19MANPAGE: explain that you may have to pass -aessiv with -masterkeyJakob Unterwurzacher
...if the filesystem was created with that option (or reverse mode). Mitigates https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/148
2017-08-21MANPAGE: update exit codesJakob Unterwurzacher
The exit codes have been documented in CLI_ABI.md for a while, but they should also be listed in the man page. Also fix the rendering of "[-o COMMA-SEPARATED-OPTIONS]", where the square brackets where interpreted as something. Escape all square brackets to be safe.
2017-06-20MANPAGE: reorder options to match "-hh" output; add "-hkdf", "-trace"Jakob Unterwurzacher
2017-06-01Implement force_owner option to display ownership as a specific user.Charles Duffy
2017-05-30main: add "-info" optionJakob Unterwurzacher
Pretty-prints the config while stripping out sensitive (and uninteresting) data https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/111
2017-04-24forcedecode: tighten checksJakob Unterwurzacher
...and fix a few golint issues and print a scary warning message on mount. Also, force the fs to ro,noexec.
2017-04-23Add -forcedecodedanim7
Force decode of encrypted files even if the integrity check fails, instead of failing with an IO error. Warning messages are still printed to syslog if corrupted files are encountered. It can be useful to recover files from disks with bad sectors or other corrupted media. Closes https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/pull/102 .
2017-03-28MANPAGE: reformat to GFM (github flavored markdown)Jakob Unterwurzacher
This makes it render properly on the github webinterface.
2017-03-25MANPAGE: fix alphabetical order and expand scryptn explainationJakob Unterwurzacher
2017-03-25Further explain the use of 'scryptn' parameter (#94)danim7
* Further explain the use of 'scryptn' parameter * Further explain the use of 'scryptn' parameter in MANPAGE * Use 28 as reasonable upper limit
2017-03-19MANPAGE: document "-serialize_reads"Jakob Unterwurzacher
2017-02-26MANPAGE: document "-speed"Jakob Unterwurzacher
2017-02-26MANPAGE: document error code 12Jakob Unterwurzacher
2017-02-12Document "--" to stop option parsing in help text + man pageJakob Unterwurzacher
2017-01-29readpassword: support spaces in "-passfile" filenameJakob Unterwurzacher
...and while we are at it, also filenames starting with "-".
2017-01-26main: add "-fsname" optionJakob Unterwurzacher
As requested in https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/73 .
2016-11-25main, fusefrontend: add "-noprealloc" optionJakob Unterwurzacher
Preallocation is very slow on hdds that run btrfs. Give the user the option to disable it. This greatly speeds up small file operations but reduces the robustness against out-of-space errors. Also add the option to the man page. More info: https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/63
2016-11-11MANPAGE: document ctlsockJakob Unterwurzacher
2016-11-01main: rename "-f" to "-fg"Jakob Unterwurzacher
"-f" looks too much like "--force". The old variant is still accepted for compatability.
2016-11-01MANPAGE: document -raw64Jakob Unterwurzacher
2016-11-01MANPAGE: update version field descriptionJakob Unterwurzacher
2016-11-01MANPAGE: add reverse example, move "-o" into alphabetical listJakob Unterwurzacher
People will search for "-o" alphabetically, so put it into the alphabetical option list, even if it is not a real option.
2016-10-21MANPAGE: prettify plain-text formattingJakob Unterwurzacher
2016-10-16main: allow password change with -masterkeyJakob Unterwurzacher
Requested at https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/28
2016-10-09main: add "-passfile" optionJakob Unterwurzacher
Make it easier to read the password from a file. Internally this is equivalent to "-extpass /bin/cat FILE".
2016-10-09main: also accept options at the end via "-o"Jakob Unterwurzacher
For compatability with mount(1), options are also accepted as "-o COMMA-SEPARATED-OPTIONS" at the end of the command line. For example, "-o q,zerokey" is equivalent to "-q -zerokey".
2016-10-09main: rename "-o" option to "-ko"Jakob Unterwurzacher
This prevents confusion with the "-o" options that is passed by mount(1) at the end of the command line.
2016-10-07MANPAGE: note that "-f" implies "-nosyslog"Jakob Unterwurzacher
Also explain why AES-SIV exists.
2016-10-06main: add "-nonempty" optionJakob Unterwurzacher
2016-09-26reverse: switch from GCM-SIV to AES-SIVv1.1-beta1Jakob Unterwurzacher
GCM-SIV is not yet finalized, and the reference implemenation is painfully slow at about 2 MB/s. Switch to AES-SIV.
2016-09-25reverse: add gcmsiv flag and associated testsJakob Unterwurzacher
2016-06-26MANPAGE: note that "-plaintextnames" disables symlink encryptionJakob Unterwurzacher
This is no change in behavoir, just a clarification in the man page.
2016-06-26main: add "-o" option to enable "suid" and "dev"Jakob Unterwurzacher
Device files and suid binaries are often not needed when running gocryptfs as root. As they are potentially dangerous, let the user enable them explicitely via the new "-o" option instead of always enabling them when running as root.
