Didn't update my system for 3 days. After today's update my auth.log each time I try to log in contains the follwing message:
Can't check if kernel supports ecryptfs

at logout umount.ecryptfs complains to the syslog:
syslog:Jun 26 11:30:28 localhost umount.ecryptfs: Failed to find key with sig [XXXXXXXXXXXX]: Required key not available

mount tells:
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/home/gunter/.Private on /home/gunter type ecryptfs (ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs,ecryptfs_sig=XXXXXXXXXX)

Unfortunately all files in my home folder that are mounted this way are still named like and have the unencrypted contents of the files in /home/gunter/.Private before I log in so I've basically lost any way to access my private data.

Hope this has to do with cryptfs not liking kernel 3.0.1 and my data isn't really lost at all.
