5 years later, on ubuntu 18.10, I am seeing this same error.
``` Jan 18 11:19:47 mathieu-FMVWB3U28 kernel: [10270.829309] ecryptfs_encrypt_page: Error attempting to write lower page; rc = [-28] Jan 18 11:19:47 mathieu-FMVWB3U28 kernel: [10270.829311] ecryptfs_write_end: Error encrypting page (upper index [0x0000000000005249]) Jan 18 11:19:47 mathieu-FMVWB3U28 kernel: [10271.004494] ecryptfs_encrypt_page: Error attempting to write lower page; rc = [-28] Jan 18 11:19:47 mathieu-FMVWB3U28 kernel: [10271.004498] ecryptfs_write_end: Error encrypting page (upper index [0x0000000000005249]) Jan 18 11:19:47 mathieu-FMVWB3U28 kernel: [10271.004552] ecryptfs_encrypt_page: Error attempting to write lower page; rc = [-28] Jan 18 11:19:47 mathieu-FMVWB3U28 kernel: [10271.004554] ecryptfs_write_end: Error encrypting page (upper index [0x0000000000005249]) Jan 18 11:19:47 mathieu-FMVWB3U28 kernel: [10271.004592] ecryptfs_encrypt_page: Error attempting to write lower page; rc = [-28] ``` my .Private folder is at 100%, reported by `df`, almost twice as much as what `du` says.... I am moving files away, but it does not decrease... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1047261 Title: ecryptfs_encrypt_page: Error attempting to write lower page (regression) Status in eCryptfs: Fix Released Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: NOTE: A test case for this bug has been created at tests/kernel/mmap- close.sh (revno 729) in the upstream ecryptfs-utils project. After upgrading to 3.2.0-30 I started seeing error messages like this in my syslog: Sep 7 11:56:28 artemy-tregubenko kernel: [ 318.675991] ecryptfs_encrypt_page: Error attempting to write lower page; rc = [-5] Sep 7 11:56:28 artemy-tregubenko kernel: [ 318.675997] ecryptfs_writepage: Error encrypting page (upper index [0x0000000000000000]) Sep 7 11:56:28 artemy-tregubenko kernel: [ 318.676058] ecryptfs_encrypt_page: Error attempting to write lower page; rc = [-5] Sep 7 11:56:28 artemy-tregubenko kernel: [ 318.676061] ecryptfs_writepage: Error encrypting page (upper index [0x0000000000000001]) Sep 7 11:56:28 artemy-tregubenko kernel: [ 318.676119] ecryptfs_encrypt_page: Error attempting to write lower page; rc = [-5] Sep 7 11:56:28 artemy-tregubenko kernel: [ 318.676122] ecryptfs_writepage: Error encrypting page (upper index [0x0000000000000000]) Sep 7 11:56:28 artemy-tregubenko kernel: [ 318.676179] ecryptfs_encrypt_page: Error attempting to write lower page; rc = [-5] Sep 7 11:56:28 artemy-tregubenko kernel: [ 318.676182] ecryptfs_writepage: Error encrypting page (upper index [0x0000000000000001]) I have a one-partition setup and my whole home folder is encrypted. I did a fsck and that didn't help. I removed zero-size files from ~/.Private and that didn't help. I backed data, deleted user and its home folder, created user again and copied data back, and error was still there. Booting to previous kernel 3.2.0-29 solved the issue. This is why I consider this bug a regression. Now I know there's a bug #870326 which is pretty much identical to this. I couldn't find "reopen" button however and I don't know how you guys like to track regressions in launchpad. I'm sorry for creating a duplicate. Please advise me what to do? If I just add new comment to the resolved bug, won't it get lost?
