This sounds similar to a situation that I discovered using Ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04:
I have an encrypted home folder (in its own subvolume, in case that's relevant) and have created a symlink for Downloads to an external directory outside the subvolume. Files that I copy from this external directory into home (~) using "cp --reflink=auto" are always truncated to zero bytes without any error given during the file copy. It seems to be the symlink causing the confusion because files that I copy from other external directories are fine. As I understand it, the reflink option should be smart enough to know when it needs to do a full copy (eg if you are copying to another file system) so the reflink option should be safe to use. So the problem is probably an issue occurring due to the combination of btrfs and ecryptfs rather than with nautilus/gnome-virtual-file-system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1305335 Title: nautilus fails to copy to ecryptfs Private folder on btrfs - all files 0 bytes Status in eCryptfs: New Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've installed a fresh copy of 14.04 beta 2 on a brand-new SSD. 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.
