Comment 5 for bug 202200

Thank you for doing that, I had the same problem transferring a 8GB file from Windows XP computer to Ubuntu server 8.04 running Samba + EncFS on top of ext3 shares.

I fought with the problem for many hours (without any success) until I magically found this Lauchpad, compiled the latest release and reconstructed all my encrypted folders to use the new feature. After that everything worked perfectly, like I was using an unencrypted Samba share :-) The 8GB file just flew through my network and also with medium sized files there was no wait (pauses) anymore between different files or when starting the transfer (it took a while for EncFS to "reserve" the disk space of upcoming file(s) before the actual transfer could begin).

Wehee!
