Bug Description

This happened when using the Precise daily from 2/21. I installed onto a fresh disk with the following options:
* separate / and /home partitions, both btrfs, both formatted as part of the install
* encrypted home directory
The installation process completed as normal. But when the machine rebooted I could not log in. I switched to a text virtual terminal and logged in to discover that my home directory had not been created. I sudo'd to root and created it and was able to log in. And running "ecryptfs-setup-private" successfully encrypted it.
