Comment 162 for bug 509180

I am seeing similar behavior to #159, except my lockups are so frequent that I cannot even use my laptop anymore. I'm running 11.10 64-bit with all the latest updates.

I see tons of

"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"

messages in the log files (syslog and kern.log).

I noticed that this problem became much much worse after the most recent update.

I have ~600,000 files in my home directory, I don't know if that is a contributing factor.

Today my laptop froze, requiring reboot (could not even ssh into it) about 15 times. The last time it froze the matlab code that I was writing was completely corrupted (looked at it in a hex editor, totally mangled) upon reboot.

I'm going to convert to a non-encrypted home and I'll report back whether the freezes stop (if they don't then it must be something else).
