Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Codename: natty After months of kernel and application crashes and corrupt files, I was ready to abandon Ubuntu 11.04 and go to some other distribution. Before doing that, I wrote a script to repeatedly md5sum the files in my ecryptfs directory and compare the results. I went single-user to ensure that nothing else was running and, sure enough, the script showed that md5sums changed randomly on files that I never touched. I went looking today and found this launchpad entry indicating that you have known for 18 months (since 9.10!) that ecryptfs is broken and is not suitable for production use. Why didn't you disable it in recent releases? My 11.04 install offered to encrypt my home directory during installation, yet you've known for 18 months that to do so would corrupt my system and crash it. I am frustrated that nobody took prompt action to disable the use of ecryptfs and to notify those of us using it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509180 Title: ecryptfs sometimes seems to add trailing garbage to encrypted files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/509180/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
