Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

I use a crypted home directory using cryptmount, cryptsetup etc.
I use pam-mount to pass my password to the mount command.
This way everything works but I want the directory to be unmounted at logout. This doesn't work.
I tried to modify PostSession/Default script to unmount.
The unmount failed because of open files.
I tried to kill -9 `lsof -t $HOME_DIR` but some are persistent.

I think something is broken in the shutdown sequence/scrips.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

I have had this problem consistently through several versions of ubuntu, including natty. In addition to killing processes, I've tried to use the <logout> tag's attributes with various values in /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml, none of which ever results in the filesystem getting unmounted.

If someone can suggest what to try, I'd be glad to help diagnose this problem.
