Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils
Hi,
after reboot I've noticed that some of my files under ecryptfs are corrupted
and unfortunately those files are my Thunderbird's Inbox files:-(.
When I try to read those files I get (detailed file names hidden by me):
$ LANG=en_EN cp -r .thunderbird/ .thunderbird-backup
cp: cannot open `.thunderbird/*.pl/Inbox' for reading: Input/output error
cp: cannot open `.thunderbird/*-1.pl/Inbox' for reading: Input/output error
and in my dmesg:
$ dmesg |tail
...

Is there anything I can do about it? I have a backup, but it's one month
old, so I would like to recover those files if this is possible. Right
now I'm not even sure how to delete them:/.
