Hi Joseph,

This bug freaked me out so much I re-formatted to EXT4 and started over.
I don't have a system that I can test this on now.

The bug appeared on a completely fresh install of 14.04 beta 2 and the
bug was still present in the release.

Unfortunately, I never had any experience with BTRFS prior so I can't
tell you how it worked before.  As I recall, I had success doing copies
via the terminal command line using CP -R, so I assumed the bug was in
how nautilus handled file copies.  My experience also was that once I
got a file INTO the private directory, I was able to open, edit, and
save correctly without error.

Still, the whole thing sent shivers up my spine, and I'm not as
technically-abled as others on this bug. I had to dump BTRFS as soon as
I could.

Title:
  Cutting or copying files on btrfs to ecryptfs results in data loss

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
