Description sworddragon2 2016-09-13 23:39:21 UTC

Initially I have posted this issue here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1623194

I'm noticing low (about 1%-3% I/O-wait per second) I/O activities on files at /home/.ecryptfs/sworddragon/.Private while the system is in idle. With iotop the only process I saw permanently doing this was kworker.
