[Steffen Neumann <372014@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

no, it is not about the files which are 0bytes in your 
mounted ecryptfs under /home/user/...,
but those encrypted-file-containers that are 0bytes
in /home/user/.Private, i.e. intheir encrypted state
where something went terribly wrong, 
and which can't be decrypted anyhow.

What's really missing is a simple option to find out 
*which* files are broken, so you can restore them
from your Backup. (You do backup, don't you ?)

Yours,
Steffen

Betreff: [Bug 372014] Re: errors in dmesg
 
I have this issue too; running Lucid.

I'm struggling with the concept that all zero-length files should be
deleted.  This sounds like ... make sure all the software you design
fits the limitation of my filesystem...  In my world, zero length files
are fairly commonplace.  And removing them screws up the systems that
depend on them being there.

Does this mean ecryptfs is not ready for prime-time?
