Version 2.0.0 does not delete .securefs.lock when unmounting

[mhogomchungu]

I have a securefs volume created with an older version of securefs and it uses the old ".securefs.json" config file.

When this volume is mounted, the ".securefs.lock" file is created normally but it is not deleted when unmounting.

Logs also has a mistleading entry since it thinks the previous instance crashed

securefs::full_format::RepoLocker::open_lock_stream_checked():698]    Lock file $PATH/.securefs.lock exists but the process holding it has exited. The previous securefs probably exited abnormally.

How did you perform the unmounting?

[mhogomchungu]

All below ways leads to the same result

securefs unmount $MOUNT_PATH

fusermount3 -u $MOUNT_PATH

fusermount -u $MOUNT_PATH

I cannot reproduce your findings locally with an old repository. You need to give me more details:

• Operating system and version
• Trace logs
• Do you build securefs 2.0 from source or download a prebuilt binary?
• Does it happen with a brand new repository too?

I am using Linux with version 2.0.0 prebuild binary.

When i mount a volume with SiriKali, unmounting it later on leaves the lock file regardless of what method i use to unmount. When i mount with SiriKali and using --log argument, the lock file gets deleted as expected!

When i mount a volume from the terminal, the lock file is deleted on unmounting regardless of what method i use to unmount.

SiriKali log file that shows mounting and unmounting is below

When you mount with SirKail without --log, can you try redirecting stdout and stderr to /dev/null and see what happens?
