Revert standard filename encryption to simple obfuscated

Hello,

as probably many users, i’m currently having a lot of problems with encrypted filename and cache.
Name of encrypted files are very long (too long) and i’m facing issues with hitting the chunks in cache because the full path of the chunk is too long (chunk not found)

I was wondering if there is a way to revert from standard filename encryption to “obfuscated” since this one does not “eat” so many chararcters.

My library is enterily crypted in standard and i don’t want to re-upload 8TB of files just to rename them.

Does anyone know a way to do this?

Thanks a lot

I just hit 63TB on my GD with standard and never have I seen a the issue you are talking about.

Can you share more details on the problem you are seeing with some logs?

Some of my original folders are so deeper that every stage of the file path is encrypted with standard method, this method add some extra char to the encrypted path and you get a huge filename path.
This issue is reported here:

I finally rent a vps, set 2 config, one with standard encryption and the other with “obfuscate” settings and make a rlone sync between them.

However, i’m curious if someone have a script or something else to make the job without having to recopy whole library again…

Thanks anyway

Do you have a specific reason for using cache?

DOn’t want to redownload something that has already been downloaded 1 hour ago :slight_smile:

By the way, i’m still searching wich settings make the normal cache (not vfs) storing as longer as possible the chunck in the store?

https://rclone.org/cache/#cache-info-age is the thing that determines how long something stays in the cache.

What’s the program causing the long file names that you are seeing?

hello,

correct me if i’m wrong but the cache-info-age is only the structure, not the chunck isn’t it?
Is this not simply an “auto” recycling process determinded by the cache size?
i can not found anything on that…

Sorry if I misunderstood the question.

chunks are kept based on total chunk size and it is a first in / first out method. You can’t do that based on time.

although you can probably just remove the chunks based on time with a cronjob.

rclone delete /cache/dir --min-age 6h

or something along those lines.

ok thank you for advice, my goal is to keep the chunk as long as possible.
So as i understodd, rclone will take care of recycling chunks with fifo

Manually removing the chunks would lead to chunk not found message as the cache.db wouldn’t match the disk though. It’s preferable to configure the right total size.

Should be okay. My understanding is the structure is kept in cache.db but not whether they exist on the file system. See here:

Although I can’t argue with that. :slight_smile: Its always better to use the supplied functions.

may I ask how long the filename is unencrypted?

i am still playing with the thought of using the crypt of rclone and going away from encfs. but the long file names bother me and scare me off.

Hello, i have no more issues with obfuscate filename encryption and cache…
