Mount Hangs - 1.9.2

[vindicatorr]

I just had a kernel panic and restarted my machine and now encfs hangs while trying to mount:

--extpass="cat /<passwordFile>" ?

[vindicatorr]

Yeah, I just santize any personal info. I figured you would get the gist.
Essentially it worked, and eventually I had a kernel panic leading me to reboot and now I can't mount it again.
The folders exist as does the encfs*.xml and pw file.

[benrubson]

Sure, but I wanted to say that some " " must be missing around your extpass command.

[vindicatorr]

Ugh... shoot me. I was having issues with syncthing after the panic and simply copy/pasted what was displayed in "$ ps" I think.

Close this on account of my own stupidity.

But on a side note, what WAS happening in reference to what "extpass" was given?

And on another side note, a curiosity I just noticed regarding an ls -la on an encfs dir after the kernel panic... There were perhaps 5 syncthing database files that said "input/output error" at the top of the ls and displayed '???????????? ? ? ? ? <filename.ldb>' for each file.
I think I might have rebooted one more time and now that I can mount it (correctly), only one file shows the "????..." but no "input/output" error, but instead now says "no such file or directory". I'm guessing there is some file in the <.encryptedPath> that isn't really there but encfs thinks it is.

EDIT0:
looking at the debug info while running ls on the , I see the <.encryptedPath/EncryptedFile> and wonder why I'm even seeing that.
Maybe I should "btrfs scrub". Maybe that'll get rid of it (I haven't tried to manually rm it). Interesting behavior that I've never encountered before.

What was happening is that encfs waited for cat to return (cat without any arguments waits for CTRL-D)
