Bug 192867 – rsync unusable with EncFS filesystem

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alinson Santos 2007-09-17 22:58:35 UTC]

Under an encfs filesystem, rsync does not set the correct timestamp for the files, even when the -t option is selected. So, at each run, every file is transfered again.

Reproducible: Always

phantom crypto developers: If someone what to take encfs do so, if not I will reassign this package to maintainer-needed, as I think eCryptfs will replace this in the long run, and I don't have a clue of how to solve this one.

Removing crypto from this package.

I am alive, I expect to look into this shortly. Sorry for the very long delay.

Would you mind testing with encfs-1.4.2?

Please reopen if still an issue with newer versions.
