Bug Description
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils
Hi,
I keep accumulating messages about eCryptfs in the logs,
although the filesystem works as expected. But I guess
the constant writes slow down my system quite a lot.
The closest related bug report seems to be "#372014 errors in dmesg",
but that was closed with "fix released", so I am opening a new report here.
Yours,
Steffen

You have some zero byte files, most likely.
find $HOME/.Private -size 0
You can probably remove these, as they are empty, and likely trash at this point.
