NAME


ecryptfs-rewrite-file - force a file to be rewritten (reencrypted) in the lower filesystem

SYNOPSIS


ecryptfs-rewrite-file [file1] [file2] [file3] ...

DESCRIPTION


This script takes one or more files/directories/symlinks as arguments, moves each of them
to a temporary file, and then moves them back to the original name. This causes the file
to be rewritten (and reencrypted) in the lower filesystem.

This script may be combined with find(1) and xargs(1) to rewrite an entire eCryptfs
mountpoint, unmount, and sync:

find . -xdev -print0 | xargs -r -0 /usr/bin/ecryptfs-rewrite-file
ecryptfs-umount-private
sync

It is advised that this script is executed in runlevel 1 or 3, to avoid simultanteous
writes and race conditions with targeted files.

USING THIS SCRIPT WHILE GNOME, KDE, OR OTHER APPLICATIONS ARE RUNNING MAY CAUSE DATA LOSS.
