I use this script to find broken files where the encrypted file is empty: #!/bin/bash
# Matches decrypted files in the home directory to empty files in the # underlying encrypted directory by inode numbe echo "saving inodes of empty files to /tmp/empty-encrypted-file-inodes" find $HOME/ -xdev $( for inode in $(find $HOME/.Private/ -xdev -size 0c -exec ls -ai '{}' \;|awk '{print $1}'|tee /tmp/empty-encrypted-file-inodes); do echo " -inum $inode" done) This might break if it constructs a command line longer than what your system allows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509180 Title: ecryptfs sometimes seems to add trailing garbage to encrypted files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/509180/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
