But I'm assuming that EncFS isn't doing anything to assist the syncing of partial files, so your minimum transfer is a full file.
Like I said, I've been experimenting, and I've found how to make this work better with rsync/unison. Hooray for reading the manual :).
EncFS has an option called per-file initialization vectors (IVs) which is enabled by default. This option generates a 64-bit random IV for each file written. This ensures that encrypted blocks are never identical. If you turn per-file IVs off then block encryption becomes deterministic, which is a fancy way of saying same cleartext in, same ciphertext out.
rsyncrypto uses the same kind of not-random IVs with similar results. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
