Hello Paul,

Thanks for your help and patience.

I tried with r- Q but same issue, emacs freezes when I start editing the file (I can open it but not modify its content), For this test, the file is stored locally (no remote cifs access, no encryption),

I do not have the problem with encfs on a local directory, only when the encrypted directory is stored on another server accessed with cifs. I do not have any problem with a remote directory accessed with cifs it if is not encrypted (I only have the issue when I use an encrypted directory with cifs).

Cheers,

Bertrand

Hello Paul,

I followed the steps but as soon as I try to edit the file when using gdb, the emacs windows freezes and I cannot do anything (I tried to open a local file, not on the network, with no encryption).

That's interesting, as it worked for me. We should try to see what differs.

Perhaps it's something involved with your startup. Can you try running Emacs with the -Q option instead? That is, instead of this:

(gdb) r

do this:

(gdb) r -Q

Sorry if this all seems slow and painstaking, but that's life with remote debugging.

For what it's worth, I tried to reproduce the problem with encfs on my machine (Fedora 21 x86-64) with a local directory, and could not reproduce it.
