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.

  3) What is expected to happen in a KDE Natty in a KDE session with the
  KDE integration active or GNOME is a Writer or Calc file untouched for
  a long period of time (ex. 1 hour+) is when one tries to edit it, the
  application does not crash.

  4) What happens instead is it crashes. This is highly correlated to
  both EcryptfsInUse and resource constrained (Memory & CPU >> 50%)
  environments. Occurs with:

  + Intel drivers, Compiz not enabled, Writer open only bug 745836
  + binary ATI drivers, Compiz enabled, Calc open only bug 799047

  WORKAROUND: Use Gnumeric.
