No. It's only this changing of behavior who makes me think of a bug. (of rsync or of encfs?) Why before rsync and encfs worked well together and not now? I noticed that encfs is still working correctly when encrypting. I also noticed that rsync is now refusing the file deletion because of the IO error security while before he wasn't and he was going on saving, only printing a simple warning. But I understand perfectly that it could be a voluntary security added in rsync and not a bug. It is better to be too careful than not enough. Recently I’ve found a page who talks about an old bug of rsync entitled "I/O errors other than IOERR_GENERAL should not suppress deletion" https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7809 Maybe the same type of problem?? Thank you very much for reading me.

When root uses it, rsync cannot read a directory encrypted with encfs by a user. More precisely, it cannot read the mounted directory, the virtual one where the user can read the datas. Until now there was only a warning like this "rsync: readlink_stat("/home/claude/Documents_chiffres") failed: Permission denied (13)" and the software went on working (only ignoring the content of the mounted directory and of course without saving this content) But recently there is this more: "IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion" and because of this "skipping file deletion", the software can't work normally. The destination gets bigger more and more because the deleted files in the source are not deleted in the destination.
