Crash leads to loss of boxcryptor volume

maxf

I've got boxcryptor 2.0.401 all set up, with an encrypted subdir in ~/Dropbox, and I'm progressively transferring files over using rsync.
Things go well until boxcrpytor crashes, unmounting /Volumes/BoxCryptor and thus killing rsync. If I hadn't paid for the upgrade I'd stop right here, but I restart boxcryptor. This time it doesn't show the menu item to open the volume anymore, and the volume is of course, not mounted, and there appears to be no way to make it remount.

I should have stayed with BC1. Would have saved me €36 :(

Hi maxf,

I'm sorry for the problems. Could you please try to close the Boxcryptor application and start it again? Normally it should mount the drive.

Hi Gustav,
Thanks for the very quick answer, and for the suggestion. It's turning out that if I wait 5 minutes before restarting, then restarting mounts the volume again. So I'm now doing my rsync'ing, and when boxcryptor crashes, I wait 5 minutes, and start over. Not great, but hopefully I'll get to the end.

BTW, when I start it and copy files, Boxcryptor uses 8M memory, which rises very quickly. Right now, after 3 minutes running it's up to 1.5G (18G VSIZE). It'll crash soon. I'd venture there's a memory leak somewhere, or you should manage the encryption queue better. Hope it helps.

Hi maxf,

thanks for the hint, we will check the behaviour :).
