Unable to locate root directory.

[ghost]

Says 'Unable to locate root directory, aborting.Build: encfs version 1.9.1' when I try creating a new drive on a new apricity os installation.

The directory "/.encrypted/" does not exist. Should it be created? (y,n) **[*I type y here*]**
Directory not created.
Unable to locate root directory, aborting.Build: encfs version 1.9.1

Usage: encfs [options] rootDir mountPoint [-- [FUSE Mount Options]]

This is how I tried creating a new one:
encfs ~/.encrypted ~/encrypted

Please try encfs ~/.encrypted ~/encrypted

It's the same thing I was trying.

Are you sure? Do you have write permissions to the filesystem root ("/")?

[ghost]

Yes I'm sure. How do I obtain write permissions to root on apricity os (arch)?

I tried sudo mount -o rw,remount / and sudo chmod o+w / but still it's the same thing.

After looking at the code, the error "Directory not created." means either 'y' was not pressed or there was an error reading the input.

Could you run, strace encfs ~/.encrypted ~/encrypted, and provide the output?

[ghost]

Yeah....I didn't press Y because I'm used to Arch not requiring that. It only requires 'enter' for positive answer. Sorry about that :)
