logs filling up with eCryptfs error messages
I am observing a constant stream of the following error message filling up my /var/log/messages:
`Either the lower file is not in a valid eCryptfs format, or the key could not be retrieved. Plaintext passthrough mode is not enabled; returning -EIO`
I have already tried to find a solution to this. I am not sure if this actually a bug or a configuration error.
I did find a bug report under https:/
I already tried to `rm -R ~/.cache`, which did not resolve the problem.
Not sure if this could be related or a totally different problem:
I am also having trouble changing permissions on some files in `/home/myuser/` when issuing `sudo chown myuser:myuser ~myuser -R` resulting with an io-error on some files.
I have already checked the sanity of the unmounted, encrypted filesystem via `e2fsck -c` and the state of the disk itself with smartmontools, which both indicate that the disk and filesystem are ok.
