Comment 8 for bug 521523

In one case, many files could not be copied across to my memory stick (with 2 out of 4 gigs free, NTFS) and each continually reported "Input/Output error" or "Unknown error" (I think this was one of them.)

I am not sure if this is corruption, but the file could not be completely read, the data might be there somewhere, but it wasn't when I tried to copy it. After resolving my disk space issue the file was fine. So I think when the disk space is low, ecryptfs freaks out, and this is bad. Imagine editing a file and getting only halve of the content read and saved.
