Hello,
Thanks for the response. Out of curosity, are there any plans for
threaded encryption/decryption support in encfs (i.e. a file would be
decrypted by multiple threads)? How difficult would it be to implement
that type of functionality? Would it be simpler to allow threaded
encryption/decryption for multiple file access (i.e. one file would only
be encrypted/decrypted by one thread. But multiple files can be
encrypted/decrypted by each their own thread (to a max # of threads))?
Thanks.

Hi,
The only time Encfs constructs a thread is for idle monitoring.
However the main event loop is in FUSE, which is capable of threaded
operation. The single threading flag is passed through to the FUSE
library.

Hello All,
Quick question that I hope hasn't been asked and answered
previously.
I was wondering what support encfs has for threading. From the man
page it seems that it supports threading in the default mode (with
-s to
enable single threading mode). However, as I am accessing files on the
encfs mount, I see only one thread being used.
As I went through the source code, I only saw pthread_create being
used for the monitor thread. I do see that in openssl.cpp the openssl
library is initialized to support threading.
Is threading supposed to be provided by the openssl library? Does
encfs support threading with file accesses?
I am using encfs version 1.7.2. Please let me know if you need
further information for addressing this issue.
Thanks for the input!
