 > It sounds like EncFS fuse daemon dies under heavy load. Do you have a
 repro case for it? Maybe a shell/ruby script that generates that heavy
 load (e.g. by copying/creating files).

 Not had a chance to make a synthetic test, but I've done some more
 experimentation...

 I keep most of my user data on an encfs volume.  Almost everything works
 without a problem.  However, opening my iPhoto library on the volume
 always triggers the symptoms described.  'Sequential' accesses (e.g.
 copying files from the volume, deleting files on the volume and creating
 many files one-after-another) are fine.  But it seems that iPhoto opens a
 whole bunch of files at once with lots of two-way I/O (or keeps many open
 at once) seems to kill it.

 I'll see if I can get anything useful out of '''encfs -vf ...''''s output.
