[Encfs-users] sqlite3 on old encfs having problems

[raf <en...@ra...>]

hi,

i've just started using encfs-1.2.0 on debian-3.1
to store an sqlite-3.4.2 database used by a website.
i quickly started getting some scary messages from
sqlite3 about the database being malformed or tables
not existing.

these errors were not actually truthful. when i look
at the database it's fine. however, things that are
getting the errors are failing.

anyway, an upgrade is clearly long overdue. i'll be
temporarily moving the website to an ubuntu system
with encfs-1.5.2 and am hoping that the problems will
go away. but that's only temporary. the original
machine will then be upgraded to debian-5.0 which
has encfs-1.4.2 in stable.

my question is: does anyone have any idea what the
cause of these problems might be and, if so, which
version of encfs (if any) will solve it? i.e. will
encfs-1.4.2 be enough?

i appreciate that it's possible that nobody knows
the answer but i thought i'd ask just in case.
i should know the answer soon enough :)

i saw a reference to sqlite errors in an old bug in
the encfs bug tracking system but it only had to do
with locking problems, not apparent database corruption,
and it only affected versions that were more recent than
encfs-1.2.0 so i doubt that it's relevant.

cheers,
raf
