If I use the "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" option in any game's properties menus, I always get told that a ton of files failed to validate, and the game deletes all of its data and starts re-downloading from scratch immediately. Even for games that were perfectly working.

I'm on Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit running the Steam for Linux client.

@AgentME, are you using an encrypted home folder? (Possibly #2515)

Yeah I am. Looks like the same issue affecting ZFS and other ecryptfs users.
