Bug Description
Binary package hint: libecryptfs0
Ubuntu Version: Gusty Tribe 2
ISO Version: Alternative
Test Environment: VirtualBox 1.4.0
Drives: 1GB Main drive + 1GB Second Drive + 256MB Swap
RAM: 128MB, 8MB Video
Downloaded and installed Tribe2 into the environment described above.
Basic Install +EcryptFS-Utils +Samba
If I do not enable the ecryptfs, everything runs fine, no problems.
I mount the encryption with the following command
# mount -t encryptfs /my/mount /my/mount
it asks me for passcode; enctyption type (I select 3, AES-256), no to
passtrough text files.
I can touch a file, and the file creates. If I unmount the ecryptfs and
look at the raw disk, it shows a 12k file, which is filled with
gibberish... perfect!
remounting the ecryptfs and answering the questions the same again,
allows me to see my file, but now it reflects properly at 0 bytes. I
now try to add content to the file. I have tried it with Echo, Vim, and
across the SMB mount in Gedit. Every time, it locks up the Linux box.
Gusty still responds to a power shutdown (ACPI) request, so it is not
the kernel locking, but the shell never returns and does not respond to
ctrl-c, ctrl-z, or any other keystrokes as far as I can tell.
I did not see anything interesting in syslog.
Can anyone recreate this?

The problem is the Linux kernel version used in Gutsy Gibbon Tribe-2 (2.6.22-rc7). It works fine with 2.6.21.X versions.
