I worked with Joey on IRC to track this down. This situation occurs when 0-byte files are created in the underlying filesystem.
It's not entirely clear to me under what circumstances this can happen. Previously, this was caused by EXT4 errors. I haven't seen those in practice now in over 6 months. Perhaps there's something else wrong. In any case, you can solve this for yourself by making sure that the 0-byte files are not in use, and then deleting them. Something like this might help: for i in find $(mount | grep " on $HOME type ecryptfs" | awk '{print $1}') -size 0c; do if ! fuser -v $i; then rm -f $i fi done Then clear your dmesg with: sudo dmesg -c And see if they come back... -- errors in dmesg https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372014 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
