Hi Tyler, thanks for commenting on this. I'm trying to get encryptfs going over a remote filesystem, and xattrs are the only practical place to put crypto headers due to file reading speeds: https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/
And in particular, if you go to read any part of a file, you have to get the whole file: https://developer.amazon.com/public/apis/experience/cloud-drive/content/nodes You can imagine in a directory with many things, or even just a few huge things, an 'ls -al' can make the system start downloading a lot while also appearing to hang. To get ecryptfs working practically on this kind of remote filesystem, we'd have to use xattrs. Do you know what would be involved for a fix? I'd be happy to contribute if you could point me in the right direction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612492 Title: remounting breaks size reporting and rsync To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1612492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
