Title:
  pam_mount trying to unmount my auto-mounted encrypted partitions every
  hour via CRON

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libpam-mount

  Since I upgraded to Karmic, I noticed the weird fact that my two auto-
  mounted LUKS-encrypted partitions randomly seemed to disappear from
  mtab - I had to manually mount them again to use them. I've been using
  them for several years with all ubuntus so far, never had a problem
  until now.

  
  These partitions are automatically mounted on login via pam_mount. These are 
the entries in pam_mount.conf.xml:

  <volume fstype="crypt" path="/dev/sda3" mountpoint="/media/sda3" 
options="cipher=aes" />
  <volume fstype="crypt" path="/dev/sda5" mountpoint="/media/sda5" 
options="cipher=aes" />

  
  After digging in the logs, I've found that there is some sort of a cron job 
trying to unmount my two partitions and running every 60 minutes. If the 
partitions are busy then they survive; if they are not busy, then they are 
umounted (very weird !!!!!) 

  From my auth.log I see this every hour:

  In my view this is a major bug. 

  A hint or workaround on how to stop this CRON thing from trying to
  unmount my drives would be greatly appreciated.

  I've found only this similar reference:

  seems to hint that the problem was introduced recently in debian, in
  libpam_mount 1.27-4
