A related bug might be Bug #272232.  The PAM password change stack
currently has a bug where a password change might be reported as
"successful" even though it wasn't.  Note that pam_ecryptfs will ONLY
rewrap the passphrase if the password change ACTUALLY succeeds,
regardless of what the output messages might be.

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I recently changed my login password via:
passwd defcon
changed password
rebooted
Logged in and I get no private directory
I then tried ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase oldpass newpass and rebooted and still no go, what can I do to recover my data??
Thanks

I also get this error:
defcon@ion:~/.ecryptfs$ mount.ecryptfs_private 
keyctl_search: Required key not available
