I'm encrypting ~/Private only. There are tons of cronjobs running on this machine, several of them as my user. The unmount takes place every now and then, but not with every run of a job. Maybe I have to run more than one job at once for this to happen? But then again, I think Cron serializes jobs in order to not start everything at once.
Looking at the similarities of the times of unmounting in the syslog, I can spot these cronjobs to be running every time it happens: rss2email as my user - should be harmless fetch-exchange.py as my user - fetches mail from an exchange server and feeds it to procmail /usr/sbin/update-motd as root To my knowledge, none of these jobs should be accessing ~/Private in any way. Plus most times they are running my ~/Private stays mounted. I'm still trying to gain some enlighenment by studying the logs. In addition I will now adjust the start times of my jobs in the hope of separating the jobs by time. -- ecryptfs private directory randomly unmounts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/358573 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu. Status in eCryptfs - Enterprise Cryptographic Filesystem: Confirmed Status in “ecryptfs-utils” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils This seems to be bug #259293, but I am filing a new one as I haven't seen this in some time. Twice in the last week my ~/Private directory unmounted. Both times /tmp/ecryptfs-<user>-Private was '0'. Both times, the symlink in the unmounted ~/Private was not present. I have a cron job that runs every 10 minutes that I can see in syslog: Apr 9 11:15:04 hostname CRON[22771]: Mount of private directory return code [0] It could be that bug #259293 is simply 'mostly' fixed and I coincidentally hit this twice in the last week, or it could be a new bug (I don't know).
