So let's sum it up: you only see this error when trying to:
1) copy a file whose size > 8192 bytes
2) when using encfs mode in 'paranoia-mode' (other modes are OK, and
regular gmailfs without encfs doesn't yield any problems)
Is this correct ?
Richard, does this ring any bell for you ? I am not familiar with the
internals of EncFS, but the man page mentions that "EncFS is not a
true filesystem. It does not deal with any of the actual storage or
maintenance of files. It simply translates requests (encrypting or
decrypting as necessary) and passes the requests through to the
underlying host filesystem. Therefore any limitations of the host
filesystem will likely be inherited by EncFS (or possibly be further
limited)."
Cheers,
