encfs (arm version, Entware) is ready for testing

[zyxmon]

Armv7 package is here - http://pkg.entware.net/binaries/armv7/test/encfs_1.9-20160630-1_armv7soft.ipk
my tests show 6.7 MB/s write and 11.2 MB/s read speeds with ecrypted folder.
Feedback is welcome.

I created an encfs directory and copied some files to/from it using NFS. Compared to using NFS without encryption I get around 90-95% of both read and write performance with a USB 3 stick.

Haven't tried SMB, but see no reason why it shouldn't work there as well.

What's a bit strange, is that I can't see any files when I'm logged in through ssh and do an ls. My Testenc directory shows up as being empty and the .testenc directory only contains a .encfs6.xml dotfile. Is this normal?

I don't think this is working at all. After rebooting I wanted to see if it was working, and tried mounting it by using: encfs -v /tmp/mnt/usbstick/.testenc /tmp/mnt/usbstick/Testenc

Progress update!

My RT-AC87U doesn't seem to have enough free memory for encfs, and after rebooting I forgot to enable the swapfile.

Now it mounts and works properly, but not with NFS. All the other directories within the NFS share are accessable.

I tried chown'ing the directory to have the same as the others("nas" as user/group), 777'ing it and also mounting it with the --public encfs option. No change - trying to access it through NFS says I lack permissions.

What's weird is that I can access the encrypted .testenc directory and read/write content inside it.

I don't know where to go from here, really. Any help would be appreciated.
