Hi,

I made the following steps to have /var/lib/tor encrypted under an ext4fs under a stable Gentoo Linux:

at a local system:
	head -c 16 /dev/random | xxd -p > ~/tmp-salt.txt; echo 0x`cat ~/tmp-salt.txt` > ~/.cryptoSalt; rm ~/tmp-salt.txt
	picked up a password from: pwgen -s 16
	open the remote directory: scp ~/.crypto{Pass,Salt} user at host:home; ssh user at host 'cat ~/.cryptoPass | sudo e4crypt add_key -S $(cat ~/.cryptoSalt) /var/lib/tor; rm ~/.crypto{Pass,Salt}'


debug.log tells me:

...

and indeed :


# ls -alR /var/lib/tor/

total 8
drwx------ 2 tor tor 4096 Aug 21 15:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 tor tor 4096 Aug 21 15:09 ..



Any hints ?
