Okay, once you're logged out, as root, see if there are any processes
lingering around owned by your user.

Also run fuser on your $HOME directory, and see what's still using
your mounted home directory.

That's all that's really remaining, something is lingering around
using your homedir such that it can't unmount until that process dies.

Status in eCryptfs - Enterprise Cryptographic Filesystem: Incomplete

Bug description:
I have my full home directories encrypted for each user.

I've noticed that sometimes if I logout and then login in with another user with sudo privileges I can still browse through my home directory, i.e. ecryptfs hasn't dismounted my home directory.

It seems to be happening in about one third of instances and so far it's only happened with my own account. I'm totally unable to reliably reproduce this at the moment and can't see anything untoward in the logs.

I could do with some tips on how to diagnose this.

Thanks.

Using Ubuntu 9.10, fully up to date. Ecryptfs-utils version 81-0ubuntu3.
