I can see that this bug still exists in the final release 14.04. To replicate this bug, 1.set up an SSD with BTRFS for root and home (all default settings). 2. Install 14.04. 3. Use ecryptfs-setup-private to install the Private subdirectory. 4. Create a text file on the desktop (or any directory outside Private) with any text inside. 5. Use nautilus to copy the file (either ctrl-c, ctrl-v, or right-click menus) to the private directory. 6. File will show as copied, but will contain no text (0 bytes).
I just checked and this problem also occurs if the file is cut/pasted, meaning that anyone who tries to cut/paste files into the Private directory will lose that data. I think that's a somewhat serious issue.

I used btrfs as the filesystem. I set up a Private folder usying ecryptfs-setup-private. I copied a few folders into the Private folder, and the entire directory structure and subfolders are copied, including the files themselves, yet every file contains 0 bytes. However, I can create and save new files in the Private directory. Also, folders and files can be correctly copied if I use the command line cp -R.
