Hmm, so I was not able to reproduce this yet. I was able to successfully copy a hierarchy of 160,640 files, 14,965 directories, comprising 5GB of data.
I do have 4GB of memory in this system (and 6GB of swap), so I'm highly unlikely to hit any out-of-memory errors. Next, I'll try to reproduce this in a VM with some small, paltry amount of memory. Out of curiosity, how much memory and swap do you have in your system, Michael Elkins? $ free :-Dustin -- Error when copying directory tree with Nautilus to ~/Private using ecryptfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu.

I see the "Private" drive icon on the desktop. If I copy single files into the Private drive in Nautilus, it seems to work. However, if I select a directory tree to copy in Nautilus by hilighting a directory, pressing control-C and then clicking on Private and pressing control-V to paste, I get an error message for every file in the directory tree that I was trying to copy: Error while copying "guide.pdf". There was an error copying the file into /home/me/Private/foo/benefits. Show more details: Error opening file '/home/me/Private/foo/benefits/guide.pdf': Cannot allocate memory _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
