Thanks Greg that was the first idea I had but then it occurred to me that
for Unison to compare my homedir with the local plaintext copy it actually
has to read over the plaintext copy. But the local plaintext is just a
non-encrypted version of the remote mount which means its actually remote
and so very slow to read. Unison trying to scan over this file would
basically lose all the advantages of unison which is to have a copy run on
the server to avoid any the huge network overhead of rereading the files.
It might be that unison can get away with just reading the timestamps and
so only have to read the files that change which might not be too bad. But
this still seems like a somewhat unideal solution from that perspective.
thanks
