[Bug 1311883] Re: Nested Encryption (eCryptfs home-folder on encrypted partion) after update to Ubuntu 14.04

[Brian Murray]

Did you boot off a CD to complete the upgrade or did you use something
on your Ubuntu system?

Title:
  Nested Encryption (eCryptfs home-folder on encrypted partion) after
  update to Ubuntu 14.04

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  after upgrading from Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 my home-dir was automatically encrypted using eCryptfs. Although useful, my home-dir is within an encrpyted volume. And now encryption is nested. As a result, my data-throughput droped to 30 Mb/s (120 MB/s before on SSD within encrypted volume)
  I did solve the problem by removing the encryption layer added by eCryptfs (ecryptfs-setup-private --undo). Now I would like to suggest adding a user querry for adding the encryption during update, at least, if encrypted volumes are already in use for the home-dir.
