Hi all, I’m wondering how Plasma Vaults work for you.

I have a system using an AMD 7840U in performance mode on Debian Trixie (Plasma 6.3.6).

The underlying filesystem is ext4 on an encrypted LVM2 volume (SN850X WD NVMe)

Using a vault with CryFS, a vault with ~200 files takes over a minute to populate in Dolphin. After it is populated, writing to files in it seems mostly reasonable.

I’m just wondering if this is expected, or if there’s something wrong on my machine. Is a different algorithm better to use for a vault?

    I have the same experience. mounting the vault (sshfs) to showing contents is like 5 minutes. client ryzen 5600, no significant CPU activity.

    I used it the exact same way you did, same SSD in fact, same encryption. All files appeared almost instantly.

    My processor is a Ryzen 7 7800x3D, 64gb of ram, same SN850X. What processor are you using? I can’t really imagine 200 files taking a full minute.

      AMD 7840U mobile processor, laptop plugged in, power profile on performance. 32 GiB of RAM at 5600 MT/s

      sysfs shows two cores at 4.7GHz while opening the vault

      I assumed file size wouldn’t matter, as I’d think it’s just reading some inodes, but maybe it does?

    I’ve had that with any CryFS vault >400MB (definitely over 1GB).

    gocryptfs vaults haven’t had this issue, so you might have better luck with it.
