Re: LINUX - Memory
Whose idea was it to install a no-downtime-db on a single physical machine?

Fricking idiots.
Them: "This cannot go down, minutes cost us thousands of dollars!"
You: "OK, so one machine you can expect to be down at least one day a year. Can we have 12 hours worth of downtime as a budget to save you the other 12 hours?"
Them: "Madness! Make it run on popsicle sticks and hamsters and if it fails it is your fault."

I'm not familiar with encryptfs but it sounds like you're dealing with a major pain in the ass. What context are you seeing this in? Plain old vanilla file creation or are you doing like the OP and performing a big multifile copy?
If you're doing a move or a copy then it might be worthwhile to try doing a mv/cp of the directory instead of the files. What happens if you create a tar archive of the files and then move the archive? I've seen tar archives get around a LOT of system limitations. If it's not a customer/production system you can always just symbolically link everything, right?
As an aside the system I created the thread for is doing much better. I've done a complete rebuild of the database and I am restoring from an archived backup right now.

Just doing an SVN checkout of our source code onto my work laptop (into an encrypted /home). Some of the file names are a bit long. I can't use an archive or symlinks. There's no fix, sadly.
But good news! Fedora doesn't have this limitation.
