I'm also affected by this bug. I upgraded from 11.10 to Ubuntu 12.04 a week ago. My disk did *not* run full.
I stumpled upon these syslog messages: Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr region, inode 133759 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 I had a look into the syslog file because firefox was not able to show my bookmarks anymore and Thunderbird started to download my entire mailbox again. Till now I was not able to restore my bookmarks. The log lines above show up especially when I open firefox. Firefox config/profile files seem to be affected (places.sqlite). Is there anything one can do to fix this or do I have to do a complete reinstall? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/957843 Title: files in eCryptFS Private directory get corrupted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/957843/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
