Same problem here. Using an ecryptfs folder on a btrfs filesystem.
Running on Arch Linux though.

When copying files using nautilus or nemo into the ecryptfs folder, they
often seem to get truncated to 0 bytes length. This does not happen when
using "cp" from the terminal.

I get the following error when trying to read such a file:

    Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr
region, inode xxxxx

I have to delete the file in order to get rid of the error message, just
as described at http://blog.stephenn.com/2012/04/problem-with-corrupt-
files-and-ecrypt.html.

Unmounting and remounting the encrypted filesystem makes broken files
show with the correct filesize again. But opening them gives an I/O read
error then. So I have to delete them finally.


Kernel 3.15.8-1-ARCH (x86_64)
ecryptfs-utils 103-2
