Hello,

I tried running "ls" on a directory mounted over NFS. This works fine for the first time but for subsequent attempts "ls" does not show any output.

However, when I repeat the same operation over a mount over local filesystems, ls works fine.

Is this a known problem?

The ecryptfs README says that stability with NFS is still under progress. So is the problem with stability related to the stacking model that ecryptfs is based on, or is it due to the encryption/decryption complexity?

Thanks,
Pallavi
