[Bug 371587] [NEW] mount.ecryptfs takes up enormous amounts of memory when mounting

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I have a large (>30 GB) ecryptfs partition that I do backups onto. When
I mount it, mount.ecryptfs starts eating my memory at an alarming rate.
I usually end up doing killall -9 mount.ecryptfs when this happens, and
the partition seems to have mounted fine.

This is Ubuntu 9.04 with ecryptfs-utils 73-0ubuntu6.
