It appears that the problem has now been solved upstream. The author of EncFS has released version 1.6.0 (1.6-1) which addresses the problem. I have tested it and it work on my system.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 5:36 PM, Heinz Wiesinger <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pprkut@liwjatan.at">pprkut@liwjatan.at</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>IMHO this is clearly a case where waiting for upstream to fix it is the most<br>
feasible option. The boost bugreport<br>
(<a href="https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3990" target="_blank">https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3990</a>) clearly states the fix needs to<br>
be in encfs. Until the fix is available I'm not going to submit encfs for 13.1<br>
(no matter what hack might be suggested as a "solution").<br>
