5 years later, on ubuntu 18.10, I am seeing this same error.
```

my .Private folder is at 100%, reported by `df`, almost twice as much as what
`du` says
I am moving files away, but it does not decrease...

Title:
ecryptfs_encrypt_page: Error attempting to write lower page
(regression)
Status in eCryptfs:
Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
NOTE: A test case for this bug has been created at tests/kernel/mmap-
close.sh (revno 729) in the upstream ecryptfs-utils project.
After upgrading to 3.2.0-30 I started seeing error messages like this
in my syslog:

I have a one-partition setup and my whole home folder is encrypted. I
did a fsck and that didn't help. I removed zero-size files from
~/.Private and that didn't help. I backed data, deleted user and its
home folder, created user again and copied data back, and error was
still there.
Booting to previous kernel 3.2.0-29 solved the issue. This is why I
consider this bug a regression.
Now I know there's a bug #870326 which is pretty much identical to
this. I couldn't find "reopen" button however and I don't know how you
guys like to track regressions in launchpad. I'm sorry for creating a
duplicate. Please advise me what to do? If I just add new comment to
the resolved bug, won't it get lost?
