[Bug 1305335] Re: Cutting or copying files on btrfs to ecryptfs results in data loss

 

@whoop: If you mean that the thumbnail file length is correct but the
image file is zero bytes, the reason is that the thumbnail file isn't
copied from the non-ecryptfs folder to the ecryptfs folder. Instead, the
system stores thumbnails in ~/.cache/thumbnails. So it creates a new
thumbnail file for the newly-copied zero-byte image file in the ecryptfs
folder, meaning the thumbnail file itself is valid. But the system tries
to generate the thumbnail image from the zero-byte image file, which
means that the thumbnail image is broken and so it appears broken in
nautilus.

  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
