Answer 1

• Setting the file length limits might be unsafe, I could not find any official documentation that this solution is safe.
• Using un-encrypted directory is not safe.

I want to offer a different approach:

• install veracrypt (in ubuntu with apt)
• create a non-encrypted directory (outside the encrypted user home dir)
• create a veracrypt file container in the new directory
• mount the container in

---

• sbt works fine even if the mount point is in the encrypted directory)

• It is possible to create the container with a complex password and mount on login

  veracrypt -t --pim=0 --protect-hidden=no -k "" -p $PASSWORD $ENCRYPTED_CONTAINER $MOUNT_DIR
