Ever since moving to an ext4+ecryptfs oneiric system, I receive this message about 6,000 times a day in /var/log/kern.log:
Oct 16 01:56:39 hostname kernel: [32384.222198] Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr region
Oct 16 01:56:39 hostname kernel: [32384.222211] 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 don't know whether trailing garbage is being added to my encrypted files. But the bug about the kernel message is marked as a duplicate of this one:
