[Bug 507150] Re: Encrypted home directory doesn't always dismount after logout.

The portion of this bug dealing with keys is actually a duplicate of Bug
#313812, which was recently fixed!

As for the rest of it (not unmounting as long as a user is still in the
encrypted directory, open file handles, etc), that behavior is by
design, and not much we can do to avoid it.

Thanks.

   umount of ecryptfs does not automatically clear the keyring (can be mounted by root later)

Title:
  Encrypted home directory doesn't always dismount after logout.

Status in eCryptfs - Enterprise Cryptographic Filesystem:
  Confirmed
Status in “ecryptfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
