Hi,

I've just started encountering this bug in the last couple of days - I
have a fully encrypted /home directory. Even before finding this bug
report I narrowed the cause down to one of three things, one of which
was that I'd recently added three new hourly cron jobs.

It's nice to know you've fixed it. Are there any plans on backporting it
to the version of ecryptfs-utils in Ubuntu 9.04 (73-0ubuntu6.1) or will
I have to wait to upgrade to Karmic for this to be fixed? Will
staggering the start of the cron jobs help (e.g. running the first one
at 1 minute past the hour, the second at 2 minutes past the hour etc.)?

Thanks.

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).
