Hi Tim - I agree that the vfs_fsync patch is the only one of much
interest, but it isn't the cause of Dustin's problems.  We have been
working together to determine the problem and figured out that he had
some non-eCryptfs files in his lower mount point.  This is due to a
problem where creates can fail and eCryptfs leaves a zero length file
around instead of cleaning up after the failed create.  The empty file
doesn't have the proper eCryptfs header and the kernel module will
complain and return -EIO.  I've opened a bug up for this:
