I compared EncFS with EcryptFS. I created 10.000 files: for((X=0;X<10000;X+=1)); do dd if=/dev/zero of=file$X.log bs=1 count=1; done Than I measured directory listing time:
EcryptFS: maco@maco-desktop:~/Private$ time ls -lR > /dev/null real 1m4.619s user 0m0.210s sys 0m1.460s EncFS: maco@maco-desktop:~/visible$ time ls -lR > /dev/null real 0m0.921s user 0m0.080s sys 0m0.280s no encryption: maco@maco-desktop:~/.encrypted$ time ls -lR > /dev/null real 0m0.670s user 0m0.160s sys 0m0.250s Result is, that EncFS do not have this bug, so it can be easy solution for those who are using EcryptFS and have big troubles with this bug - simply move files from EcryptFS directory to EncFS directory.
