Comment 1 for bug 268557

I believe the problem is that 'idle cycle count' is reset due to some loop problem where encfs itself acceses the filesystem repeatedly without end, thus causing the usage to reset once a second or more.

user@machine:~$ cat bug268557.log | grep -i idle

It loops like this ad infinitum
