#42257: EncFS on HFS+, data loss risk -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: dnied@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: crypto,fuse | Port: encfs -------------------------+-------------------------------- I recommend switching to the latest SVN revision of encfs, because it includes provisions in order to work correctly on case-insensitive filesystems (such as the Mac's HFS+). Versions up to 1.7.4_1 appear to work with case-insensitive filesystems, but they are in fact unaware of possible name collisions, since they assume case sensitivity. This may lead to '''data loss''', with probability proportional to the number of files stored in an encfs volume (speaking from personal experience and subsequent research). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42257> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
