> What about the damage that's already been done to files

The damage is temporary and disappears as soon as you unmount the
ecryptfs volume, unless you for some reason read the file and write it
back to disk.

I wrote a script that fixes up git objects broken by this bug:

If you have any non-git files that are affected by this, you might want to do 
something similar based on the script.

errors.

I think the dmesg errors are just one symptom of the bug; trailing
garbage is another. Can you still see trailing garbage in any of your
files?
