I've just been bitten with this. Soemthing ate 500GB (yes GB!) one night
when my machine was on.. I couldn't find out what had done it, the
machine eventually restarted and the culprit was gone so it must have
been some crazy cache issue. It has made a right mess of KDE on me,
Akonadi looks to be broken because of it. I continually get messages
like:
[32223.735781] Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr
region
[32223.735788] Either the lower file is not in a valid eCryptfs format, or the
key could not be retrieved. Plaintext passthrough mode is not enabled;
returning -EIO
Kernel is: 2.6.38-11-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 19:02:55 UTC 2011
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Running find ../.ecryptfs/felim/.Private -xdev -size 0c -exec ls '{}' \;
| wc -l
Gives me 351 files... I've tried following this thread but it's hard to
know what can be done. IS a restore from backup the only real option?
