Thread: Can't see new files on ext4 partition


this quite unusual phenomenon indeed. when mount home partition windows or live cd, snapshot of partition several months ago. contains files deleted months ago, not files last several months. when boot ubuntu though, it's normal. newest files can find have modification date of october 5.

going on here?

probably explanation encrypted home directory @ point around time.

when log ubuntu encrypted home directory mounted when accessing disk windows / livecd see older contents because encrypted home not mounted obscure them view.

when logged ubuntu open terminal , execute command:
code:
mount
if have encrypted home directory should see result along lines of:
code:
/home/cryptouser/.private on /home/cryptouser type ecryptfs (ecryptfs_check_dev_ruid,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs,ecryptfs_sig=fa0516369a9d12dd,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=70a90eae5e38d112)
where "cryptouser" username on machine.
