Hmm, so I was not able to reproduce this yet.

I was able to successfully copy a hierarchy of 160,640 files, 14,965
directories, comprising 5GB of data.

I do have 4GB of memory in this system (and 6GB of swap), so I'm highly
unlikely to hit any out-of-memory errors.

Next, I'll try to reproduce this in a VM with some small, paltry amount
of memory.

Out of curiosity, how much memory and swap do you have in your system,
Michael Elkins?

Error when copying directory tree with Nautilus to ~/Private using ecryptfs

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I set up ecryptfs following the instructions in the community documentation:

$ sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils
$ ecryptfs-setup-private

Logged out and logged back in.  I see the "Private" drive icon on the desktop.

If I copy single files into the Private drive in Nautilus, it seems to work.  However, if I select a directory tree to copy in Nautilus by hilighting a directory, pressing control-C and then clicking on Private and pressing control-V to paste, I get an error message for every file in the directory tree that I was trying to copy:

Error while copying "guide.pdf".

There was an error copying the file into /home/me/Private/foo/benefits.

Show more details:
Error opening file '/home/me/Private/foo/benefits/guide.pdf': Cannot allocate memory
