As for the bug, I forgot to mention that my disk may well have been filled 100% right before the error occurred. I think somebody posting above reported a similar thing. So maybe that can explain why the supposedly fixed bug resurfaced on my system using the 3.0.0-12 kernel?
For the record, to clean up the corrupted files, I used a variant of the tip somebody above posted to find and remove corrupted files: find . -type f -size -10k -exec cat {} \; > /dev/null To explain for dummies like me: This reads all files smaller than 10k and yields an Input/Output error for the files concerned. (which in my case were all 0-bytes files, mostly lockfiles). You can then go about removing those files manually. -- 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
