What about the number of files or directories? Think a maildir tree. Even the file size could be useful. Though this is a good first step.

I don't consider the disclosure of file sizes to be a huge problem for lots of people. And you always have dm-crypt if you are really paranoid.
Personally, I'm happily using eCryptfs on my self-made NAS, automatically mounted when my Mac connects to the share with the password that I store in Keychain.

Well, you can pad files with a small random-sized pad. But yeah, there are limits of what is practical.
