Comment 7 for bug 799157

Tyler,

The "while" loop in my script is doing what you describe No need to do it manually.

Taking your example, if you type:

ecryptfs-filename-plain2encrypted foo/bar/baz

You will get the full path in the lower filesystem (relative to its root)... i.e., the script will spit something like:

ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.blabla/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.bleble/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.blibli

As for the problem you spotted with hard links, it would only happen if the hard links are located in the same directory. So the attached patch makes the script fail safely, rather than giving incorrect results.
