[Bug 1305335] Re: nautilus fails to copy to ecryptfs Private folder on btrfs - all files 0 bytes
This sounds similar to a situation that I discovered using Ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04: I have an encrypted home folder (in its own subvolume, in case that's relevant) and have created a symlink for Downloads to an external directory outside the subvolume. Files that I copy from this external directory into home (~) using "cp --reflink=auto" are always truncated to zero bytes without any error given during the file copy. It seems to be the symlink causing the confusion because files that I copy from other external directories are fine. As I understand it, the reflink option should be smart enough to know when it needs to do a full copy (eg if you are copying to another file system) so the reflink option should be safe to use. So the problem is probably an issue occurring due to the combination of btrfs and ecryptfs rather than with nautilus/gnome-virtual-file-system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1305335 Title: nautilus fails to copy to ecryptfs Private folder on btrfs - all files 0 bytes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1305335/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1305335] Re: nautilus fails to copy to ecryptfs Private folder on btrfs - all files 0 bytes
Noticed this same problem. When copying large files on btrfs nautilus seems to do "cp --reflink". When I copy a file from btrfs to same btrfs with ecryptfs-layer; the file seems to get corrupted. However when I do "file ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED*" to the copied bare file under the ecryptfs- layer I can see the original contents. So nautilus copies the file as plain with cp --reflink when instead it should do a proper full copy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1305335 Title: nautilus fails to copy to ecryptfs Private folder on btrfs - all files 0 bytes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1305335/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1305335] Re: nautilus fails to copy to ecryptfs Private folder on btrfs - all files 0 bytes
Same problem here. Using an ecryptfs folder on a btrfs filesystem. Running on Arch Linux though. When copying files using nautilus or nemo into the ecryptfs folder, they often seem to get truncated to 0 bytes length. This does not happen when using "cp" from the terminal. I get the following error when trying to read such a file: Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr region, inode x I have to delete the file in order to get rid of the error message, just as described at http://blog.stephenn.com/2012/04/problem-with-corrupt- files-and-ecrypt.html. Unmounting and remounting the encrypted filesystem makes broken files show with the correct filesize again. But opening them gives an I/O read error then. So I have to delete them finally.

[Bug 1305335] Re: nautilus fails to copy to ecryptfs Private folder on btrfs - all files 0 bytes
I have continued to use the private directory so far without hitch. Using nautilus and other programs, it seems as long as I create a file in the Private directory and don't move or copy it, i'm fine. I have my .thunderbird directory inside Private and everything seems to work just fine. I've only had this issue on copying or moving using nautilus.

[Bug 1305335] Re: nautilus fails to copy to ecryptfs Private folder on btrfs - all files 0 bytes
I just stumbled across this bug as well. Only noticed because I wasn't get thumbnails of an image I had just copied into my Private directory. I even tried using cp from the command line, so it's not a nautilus bug. Unfortunately I have no idea which (if any) files I lost as a result of this (I switched to btrfs over a month ago). Unmounting and re-mounting the Private directory causes the files to show up, even after deleting (I added the file, saw it was corrupted, deleted it, unmounted, remounted, and it was there). It wasn't 0 bytes, so there was data there. However it was still corrupt, and the md5sum differed from the original. I immediately copied everything out of my Private directory into a new directory. Everything went OK except for the corrupted file. It gave me input/output errors (on the original and the copies in .Trash), so I can only hope that the rest of the data is not corrupt. This is a VERY serious bug causing data loss with no warning to the user that it's happening. ** Also affects: ecryptfs Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1305335 Title: nautilus fails to copy to ecryptfs Private folder on btrfs - all files 0 bytes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1305335/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can see that this bug still exists in the final release 14.04. To replicate this bug, 1.set up an SSD with BTRFS for root and home (all default settings). 2. Install 14.04. 3. Use ecryptfs-setup-private to install the Private subdirectory. 4. Create a text file on the desktop (or any directory outside Private) with any text inside. 5. Use nautilus to copy the file (either ctrl-c, ctrl-v, or right-click menus) to the private directory. 6. File will show as copied, but will contain no text (0 bytes). I just checked and this problem also occurs if the file is cut/pasted, meaning that anyone who tries to cut/paste files into the Private directory will lose that data. I think that's a somewhat serious issue.
