Public bug reported: Allocating space for large file results in program hanging with 100% CPU usage. I experienced this in both transmission and rtorrent with various files 4 - 6 GB in size. When the allocation starts, I see a lot of disk activity but after a while this activity stops while the program keeps using 100% of the CPU. I left rtorrent running overnight in this state and it doesn't recover. Furthermore, I can't kill the programs, even with SIGKILL. Actually, transmission dies, but becomes a zombie. I think I should mention I'm using ecryptfs on my home partition as set up by the Ubuntu installer.
