[Bug 1305335] Re: nautilus fails to copy to ecryptfs Private folder on btrfs - all files 0 bytes
This sounds similar to a situation that I discovered using Ubuntu 14.10
and 15.04:
I have an encrypted home folder (in its own subvolume, in case that's
relevant) and have created a symlink for Downloads to an external
directory outside the subvolume. Files that I copy from this external
directory into home (~) using "cp --reflink=auto" are always truncated
to zero bytes without any error given during the file copy. It seems to
be the symlink causing the confusion because files that I copy from
other external directories are fine.
As I understand it, the reflink option should be smart enough to know
when it needs to do a full copy (eg if you are copying to another file
system) so the reflink option should be safe to use. So the problem is
probably an issue occurring due to the combination of btrfs and ecryptfs
rather than with nautilus/gnome-virtual-file-system.

Title:
nautilus fails to copy to ecryptfs Private folder on btrfs - all files
0 bytes
Status in eCryptfs:
New
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've installed a fresh copy of 14.04 beta 2 on a brand-new SSD. I
used btrfs as the filesystem.
I set up a Private folder usying ecryptfs-setup-private.
I copied a few folders into the Private folder, and the entire
directory structure and subfolders are copied, including the files
themselves, yet every file contains 0 bytes.
However, I can create and save new files in the Private directory.
Also, folders and files can be correctly copied if I use the command line cp -R.
Thanks,
Damon
