I'm encrypting ~/Private only. There are tons of cronjobs running on this machine, several of them as my user. The unmount takes place every now and then, but not with every run of a job. Maybe I have to run more than one job at once for this to happen? But then again, I think Cron serializes jobs in order to not start everything at once.

Looking at the similarities of the times of unmounting in the syslog, I can spot these cronjobs to be running every time it happens:

rss2email as my user - should be harmless
fetch-exchange.py as my user - fetches mail from an exchange server and feeds it to procmail
/usr/sbin/update-motd as root

To my knowledge, none of these jobs should be accessing ~/Private in any way. Plus most times they are running my ~/Private stays mounted.

I'm still trying to gain some enlighenment by studying the logs. In addition I will now adjust the start times of my jobs in the hope of separating the jobs by time.
