Currently, filesystems allow truncate(2) on an encrypted file without the encryption key. However, it's impossible to correctly handle the case where the size being truncated to is not a multiple of the filesystem block size, because that would require decrypting the final block, zeroing the part beyond i_size, then encrypting the block. As other modifications to encrypted file contents are prohibited without the key, just prohibit truncate(2) as well, making it fail with ENOKEY.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
