Unfortunately, I had to remove such feature because the problems became more frequents.
However, I try to remember:
By "default" eCryptfs configuration, I mean that I created the directory using the command 'ecryptfs-setup-private', I moved my firefox profile, and then I made a symbolic link (from ~/.mozilla to ~/Private/.mozilla).
Firefox worked fine.
I do not remember the kernel and ecryptfs version, it was an up-to-date fresh installation (if this can be useful) on both the laptops.

Thanks.

Yuri

Bug description:
Dear community members,
I would report a corruption in my partition ext3 happened 2 times on one computer and 2 times on another computer when the filesystems get unmounted during the halting process (Ubuntu 8.10, updated). A segfault appeared two times (one on the first computer and one on the second laptop) while the third and the fourth errors produced a lot of messages on the console (sorry but I did not note the messages) until I manually switched off the pc.
After reboot, fsck get automatically launched and it finds several errors. Mostly it finds orphaned inodes that puts in lost+found. I checked the content and I guessed it was encrypted files (3DUfw and CONSOLE appear in the content of each recovered inode).
Actually I use eCryptFS to store only my Firefox profile (using the default eCryptFS configuration).
