Description

So, I will admit, I am on a very old 2009 iMac that is very slow. I'm running El Capitan, and the system had a kernel panic, but this was unrelated to Keybase (it was a USB device I had installed). This caused a sudden reboot while Keybase was uploading.

Now I'm getting this odd error repeatedly, something about EOF when I try to access the KBFS drive mounted. So I'm sending you the logs. On my own, I did stop the keybase service with `keybase ctl stop` and went into `~/Library/Application Support/Keybase` and deleted the `./kbfs_*` directories as well as `./Cache` and then started the application back up. This worked for a moment, but the utterly failed later on.

I then, thinking the kernel extension had become corrupted, uninstalled Keybase and reinstalled it from a fresh download. This, also, did not work. I'm trying a few other things but if it fails I plan to just completely rekey the machine as a new device.
