Cppcryptfs mounted drives and folders aren't indexed

Post by wontell »

I have some cppcryptfs encrypted directories mounted to some directories and also drive letters, none of them are being indexed by Everything. I have included the letters in the NTFS drive listing, and the drive where the directory mount points are located is the C drive which is being indexed.

The only way to get this working is if I add them all as folders instead, but I would prefer if I don't have to since this way any other new mount point will have to be added manually instead of it being added automatically by Everything, this is cumbersome when I mount to directories, since drive letters are limited I can add them all but directories are almost infinite.
Also if I add
C:\some\path
as a folder I will have two entries in Everything for the
path
directory, one will be empty (0 size) which duplicates everything.

Could you please look into this?

The volumes created with cppcryptfs are not true NTFS volumes.
There's no MFT or USN Journal.

You will need to add these volumes as a folder index under Tools -> Options -> Folders.

Unfortunately, there's no way to avoid the duplicated mount folder. (indexed as C:\some\path for your C: drive index and C:\some\path for your folder index)

You could hide it with a filter:
Create a new filter (Search -> Add to filters), set the filter search to:
!<index-type:ntfs C:\some\path>

You could also set your Everything filter search to this.
