sure,  more detailed information:

lockup/freeze means, i cant do anthing except acpi-off (pressing on/off for 
>6seconds) or magic-sysrq-reboot (alt-print-b) to leave this system state.
also, ctrl-alt-f<x> or ctrl-alt-backspace to leave X doesnt work anymore.

im using ecryptfs in a bit modified way than the standard home dir encryption, 
which means:
it is  mounted the following way:
(cat /proc/mounts)
/home/profile_dir/<user>/.Private /mnt/temp ecryptfs 
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,ecryptfs_sig=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs
 0 0

when i start firefox:
firefox -no-remote -profile /mnt/temp/.mozilla/firefox/<profiledir>
and leaving this browser untouched for  while >=10mins, the system will  hang 
the way described above.

btw performance issues because of encryption are not the problem it is
just about the lockup/freeze state

i crosschecked with :
1)
cryptsetup devicemapper (also kernel level encryption) based profile dir  - 
same symptom of lockup/freeze
2)
the userspace encryption tool encfs and the problem doesnt exist anymore

i really wonder why other people which are using normal ubuntu home dir
encryption doesnt habe resp. report similar problems.

thanks in advance for all kinds of infos and pointers to resolv this
issue.
