Bug Description

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I installed ecryptfs-utils recently. When I try to unmount Private directory I receive the following error:

umount: /home/mohammad/Private is not in the fstab (and you are not root)

Since It is a personal private directory I believe I should be able to unmount it.

Thanks in advance

You can unmount it from the command line with:
 $ umount.ecryptfs_private

Otherwise, it will be automatically unmounted when you log out.

Gnome/KDE will need to be updated to special case "ecryptfs" filesystems to call umount.ecryptfs_private rather than unmount.
