SUMMARY When you try to manually mount cryfs filesystem with password contained space key, you can't mount with same password and since there is no documentation about this, this should be a bug STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. create cryfs vault with space key in password 2. try to manually mount it (with "$cryfs basedir mountdir") 3. try to use your password OBSERVED RESULT CryFS Version 0.10.2 Password: Deriving encryption key (this can take some time)...done Error 11: Could not load config file. Did you enter the correct password? EXPECTED RESULT Vault manually mounts well SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 Kernel Version: 5.7.9-1-mainline-bcachefs OS Type: 64-bit plasma-vault - git version (5.19.80.r290.gc4932f9-1) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I tried to scan throw source code and found nothing about this (I probably bad at this)
This would be a bug in the cryfs binary itself, which isn't controlled by Plasma Vaults. I'd recommend that you report it upstream at https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs/issues if it's still happening with the latest version of cryfs.
