EncFS is built into the kernel on most systems and never actually writes the unencrypted files out to disk; that would sort of defeat the whole point. It decrypts them on the fly.

Are you sure EncFS does that? That sounds like what eCryptfs does, which I think is different.

swim on, pupper

Yeah, EncFS does that, just googled and the only part I was wrong about is that it's technically using FUSE, not embedded in the kernel. However, my point still stands.

EncFS is junk from early 2000s you should never touch https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7384730

There's a replacement, gocryptfs that the EncFS maintainer (who took over after that audit discovered EncFS was trash) and CryFS and securefs.

You should just use FDE, djb also has a bunch of entries on his old blog by shit like Ubuntu's home directory encryption isn't good enough

correction you should use FDE + gocryptfs unless of course this is for some docker container or something (then use tarsnap, sync it to a directory that uses gocryptfs).
