Bug Description
The following messages have started appearing in syslog lately:
Jan 30 21:09:00 lenovo kernel: [ 9675.252553] ecryptfs_
Jan 30 21:09:00 lenovo kernel: [ 9675.252557] Error writing inode size to metadata; rc = [-4]

Jan 31 05:28:16 lenovo kernel: [39631.237655] ecryptfs_write_end: Error encrypting page (upper index [0x000000000000
What are these errors and how can they be fixed? Is there any danger of data loss?
The system is Xubuntu 14.04.3 LTS x64 and the kernel is 3.19.0-47-generic.
Thank you.

There's no issue here other than eCryptfs being too verbose with what it logs. You, or a process on your machine, interrupted the the write. AFAIK, eCryptfs handles this without issue (outside of those log messages).
