Examine your directory WITHOUT mounting the encrypted partition. That
is, look at the .Private directory which contains a bunch of
ECRYPTFS... files and directories. In your case, you'll see a mix of

Okay, morning this bug a duplicate of bug #823775, where lightdm was
doing some work (creating directories, files, etc) in the user's home
directory as root *before* the user's homedir was mounted, I think.
This has happened to me recently. I have logged in and all my GNOME
preferences went missing, and my home directory contained a lot of
directories similar to the ones in comment #13. After re-logging in
(maybe a few times, I might have not checked my home dir), my GNOME
settings were still
I got bitten by this bug tonight. Like Dave Gross, I discovered that my
.Private directory had a bunch of empty directories with unencrypted
names in it -- corresponding to the directory names that were duplicated
(and empty) when my eCryptfs directory was mounted. I fixed the problem
by
i've also just experienced it with ubuntu 11.04
my usecase: i've set up separate users for skype and chrome, and use two
such scripts to start them:
#!/bin/bash
xhost +local:
gksu --su-mode --login --user chrome export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa;
google-chrome
i assume it's reproducible, because
i was sloppy, sorry. my skype user was misbehaving, but i don't see the
corruption there, so it might have been something else.
but look at this, it's in the broken one (chrome):
chrome@ed101:~$ rm -rf .config/
chrome@ed101:~$ ll -d .config

This looks like a possibly useful datapoint that showed up in dmesg at
some point during my ongoing debugging / diagnosis attempts:

David - That is an error condition that would prevent a 2nd eCryptfs
mount from happening. I don't think that is the cause of the problem,
since the 2nd mount attempt simply failed.
Have either of you manually mounted your encrypted home directory using
the `mount -t ecryptfs
For me this took place after an ordinary login without manually mounting
the directory. Since then I've used ecryptfs-recover-private to mount
it privately so I could copy out as much data as I could to some other
directory (it, too, sees the corrupted filesystem with duplicate
directories and
I'm tempted to move all of the unencrypted directories/files out of this
directory to some other place and then trying to remount the encryptfs
directory to see if I can then see my old stuff again.

That seems to have done the trick. Things are still acting slightly
awkwardly, but it looks like all of my data is still there, thank

I'm having what seems to be a similar problem.
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11 and a few days later my ext4 filesystem
began misbehaving in a weird way.
In my home directory, many subdirectory names are duplicated verbatim. Here's
