I believe the problem is that sshFS is, underneath, built on SFTP - so it
has a file-level granularity for changes.
So even though encFS works on a block by block level (efficient) if you
are touching a file at all over sshFS, you need to download the entire
file behind the scenes.
So encFS+sshFS would work well if you had a lot of little files ...
Can someone correct me if I am wrong about this ? I know a lot of folks
have pursued the sshfs+encfs route and all gave it up very quickly - I
believe this is the reason why...
