I'm sorry. I'll try to explain my problem better. Short version: Cron jobs cannot access the content of the encrypted disk even when I'm logged in. I can access the content of the disk from bash or graphical file explorer.
Longer version: I've first seen problem because I'm using backintime to perform automatic backup of my disk. When I run the backup manually everything is fine, while when the backup is performed automatically with cron the resulting backup is always empty. Adding the follwing command to crontab (using crontab -e), in order to list the content of the drive (/media/dataHD), show me that the ls of the drive doesn't produce any result. */1 * * * * ls -la /media /media/dataHD /media/dataHD/work > /tmp/filelist I've the following configuration files (based on this guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Pam_mount): /etc/pam.d/pammount (I've created this file) #%PAM-1.0 auth optional pam_mount.so password optional pam_mount.so session optional pam_mount.so /etc/pam.d/system-local-login #%PAM-1.0 auth include system-login auth include pammount account include system-login account include pammount password include system-login password include pammount session include system-login session include pammount /etc/pam.d/sddm #%PAM-1.0 auth include system-login auth include pammount account include system-login account include pammount password include system-login password include pammount session include system-login session include pammount I hope I've been more clear now.

At the moment, where your user is logged in, everybody can see the disk, even cron. No pam_mount is needed there for cron. Maybe you should explain at first what your problem exactly is and not start with a solution first?
