I'm also having this problem on Jaunty: $ mount | grep home /dev/mapper/MAIN_VG-HOME_LV_crypt on /home type ext3 (rw) /home/user/.Private on /home/user type ecryptfs (ecryptfs_sig=ace5d3dc7966c556,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=c0bd3cca6d89c7fd,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16) gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/user/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=user) $ dd if=/dev/zero of=test123 count=234333 234333+0 records in 234333+0 records out 119978496 bytes (120 MB) copied, 10.1632 s, 11.8 MB/s $ du -sh test123 0 test123
Note, it happens with newly created files or directories. It doesn't matter what they're created by...I noticed this when I was creating a very large Lucene index yet du was telling me the directory was empty. In my case, the index directory actually did show size after a reboot...but it took the reboot to make it happen. Please, please, if there's any way, issue a patch for this. It's very frustrating, and I really don't have the option of redoing my home directory at the moment.
