Title: Permanent I/O from kworker and ecryptfs Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 dev and after upgrading from upstart to systemd (231-6) I'm noticing that if the system is on idle (even if only booted to the login screen) there are permanent I/O activities on my hard disk drive. On making a look with inotifywait this happens by permanently accessing files in /home/.ecryptfs/sworddragon/.Private (but no I/O appears at the transparent mountpoint at /home/sworddragon). On making a look with iotop the only I/O activities are comming from kworker (and sometimes jbd2) at this time.
