We just added support for the noatime option in the develop branch, this will be part of the 0.11.x series once that is released. This should hugely improve your performance....

If you have that large files, you might want to experiment with larger block sizes when creating the file system, for example 4MB. CryFS splits your file into blocks of...

This would be a great feature. I'm happy to help if you need anything. - What would the inode numbers be used for? Would it be enough to just have...

The CryFS versioning policy so far is: - You can introduce breaking format changes to the develop branch, they will be in the next major release (0.11 in this case)...

A separate migration command would indeed be better but that doesn't exist (yet). Feel free to write it but that would make the hard link project much larger.

The issue is most likely not your bandwidth, but the latency. Because CryFS encrypts file sizes and folder structure (which ecryptfs does not), it has to send a lot of...

Great idea, thanks. The asymmetric approach sounds very interesting but is probably hard to implement, since the CryFS implementation strongly depends on symmetric cryptography. Say you add a directory and...

Hey, thanks for reporting. I'm currently focusing on making CryFS stable, hoping to reduce the need for such a tool, but it'd still be helpful to have and is on...

Hi, that sounds great. The general file system design is described in chapter 4 of this thesis: https://www.cryfs.org/cryfs_mathesis.pdf . Chapter 5 and 6 describe software architecture and implementation details like...

Yes, I think cryfs should provide such consistency guarantees. But as you mentioned, it's an open problem to figure out how to implement this performantly. One option might be to...
