Bug Description
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with ecryptfs-utils 104-0ubuntu1.
I'm having my Documents synced across multiple computers. I have to mount ecryptfs outside of my home because my home is encrypted.
Setup on multiple computers:
/home/local/
type ecryptfs
options rw,ecryptfs_
/home/local/
/home/local/
I've never experienced any problems before. But recently I've been noticing file corruption. I have no idea when this started. Never noticed it before. I was trying to chmod all my files in Documents and I had many errors like this:
---
chmod: cannot access ‘./etc/(Klad)/Games Cheats/GTA San Andre\004’: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access ‘./etc/(Klad)/Games Cheats/
chmod: cannot access ‘./etc/
chmod: cannot access ‘./etc/
chmod: cannot access ‘./etc/
chmod: cannot access ‘./etc/
chmod: cannot access ‘./etc/
chmod: cannot access ‘./etc/
chmod: cannot access ‘./etc/
chmod: cannot access ‘./etc/
chmod: cannot access ‘./etc/

I thought something is screwing up the filenames. But the attributes and content are also messed up:
---
$ ll
ls: cannot access �"|����aTA��@��: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access ��� �GG�m��Pu: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access Sand��Iv;: No such file or directory
�=3�: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access lin0�Q>��/
�4��l��?: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access The BIOS Optimizatioمr�

What changed over the months/years: Regular updates to Ubuntu, kernel updates, updates to ecryptfs-utils and a switch from Dropbox to OwnCloud at some point.
I'm not sure if this is OwnCloud or ecryptfs related, so I posted an OwnCloud issue here: /github. com/owncloud/ core/issues/ 24416
