I use Unison 2.40.65 on Kubuntu 13.04, both computer use ecryptfs to encrypt the home folder.
I try to sync my complete home folder to my netbook, I get errors that the temp file disappeared, see screenshots of the errors here:
I can copy those file using a plain rsync -avhE --delete, but it does not work with Unison.
How can I fix this?
eCryptFS unfortunately has a 143 character filename limit: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/344878
unison 2.40.65 does not know about this specific limit, and sometimes creates temporary files that go over it. Such files can not be created on eCryptFS mounts.
There is a patch for unison so that it creates filenames that stay within even the eCryptFS limit: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.unison.devel/2258 -- interestingly, the mailing list post announcing the patch also cites your superuser question. :)
