Encrypted home directory randomly unmounts

[James Page]

I've noticed this a few times over the last month or so; my encrypted home directory will randomly unmount; I can mount it back straight away using the 'ecryptfs-mount-private' private and everything is accessible again.

Some things that are different about my install include the use of systemd as the init system instead of upstart.

I can't see anything in either the syslog or kern.log to give a clue as to why this happens.

Do you use schroot? could be similar to bug #1430557

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is happening to me now on Ubuntu 16.04 (Linux 4.4.0-24-generic (x86_64))
