Try eCryptfs on tmpfs to test the theory. I see very similar numbers to eCryptfs on ext4 on an SSD. > I hoped it was just a bug, not a limitation. That's what I was getting at in comment #5, I think we're doing an extra page encrypt and writing to the lower file system on every buffered write. It ensures some cache consistency between the eCryptfs page cache and the lower page cache, but I'm not sure if that is actually helpful in the case of eCryptfs mounted on a local filesystem. -- writing to ecryptfs partition on SSD drive is many times slower than writing to unencrypted partition on the same drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/654764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
