I was not using ecryptfs on either machine that consistently locked up.
The one machine, a laptop, didn't really have any network mounting at all.
I did use sshfs but rarely, and never had it mounted when lockups occured.
The other machine used CIFS, and might have been in conjunction with lockups.
