After upgrading to 3.2.0-30 I started seeing error messages like this in my syslog:

I have a one-partition setup and my whole home folder is encrypted. I did a fsck and that didn't help. I removed zero-size files from ~/.Private and that didn't help. I backed data, deleted user and its home folder, created user again and copied data back, and error was still there.

Booting to previous kernel 3.2.0-29 solved the issue. This is why I consider this bug a regression.

Now I know there's a bug #870326 which is pretty much identical to this. I couldn't find "reopen" button however and I don't know how you guys like to track regressions in launchpad. I'm sorry for creating a duplicate. Please advise me what to do? If I just add new comment to the resolved bug, won't it get lost?
