KDE Vault refuses to mount and open (awful.systems)

I have two vaults set up using CryFS, one is large and the other one is small >1Gb

The small one mounts perfectly fine, the larger one doesn't mount it launches Dolphin but shows the file directory is empty

It doesn't throw any errors, just this weird behavior happens.. I checked the vaults hidden directory all my files are still there but encrypted ( just seeing random folders )..

Is there a way to force it to mount using the command line ?

I've found CryFS doesn't like multi Gb vaults, gocryptfs is happy regardless.

The larger Vault is open but Dolphin acts weird about it. You have to use the terminal to copy out the files from the mounted Vault and just wait for it to complete unfortunately.

Last time I copied the encrypted directory to an external drive it took a solid 5 hours, the directory size is 25Gb but on disk it becomes ...idk I would say 170GB or more.. 😭, so I'm assuming you mean I should try to mount it using the CLi then moving everything out ( which won't take long )

This bug report shows a solution but I don't understand it ?
