Error mounting eCryptfs: [-2] No such file or directory
I am trying to recover my Private data manually, but get this error:
Error mounting eCryptfs: [-2] No such file or directory
The same problem is marked "solved" at https:/
I followed "Setup Your Encrypted Private Directory" instructions on
https:/
Then I followed "Recovering Your Data Manually" instructions from the same page. The output is listed below:

WARNING: Based on the contents of [/root/
it looks like you have never mounted with this key
before. This could mean that you have typed your
passphrase wrong.
Would you like to proceed with the mount (yes/no)? : yes
Would you like to append sig [19ed9549e2d29b0f] to
[/root/
in order to avoid this warning in the future (yes/no)? : no
Not adding sig to user sig cache file; continuing with mount.

Check your system logs; visit <http://

Which system log should I be checking and what am I looking for?

I am testing this with a known passphrase. After I get this working with a known passphrase I will try recovering files with a questionable passphrase.
Thank you.
