A week ago, my home partition (encrypted with ecryptfs, set up in the install process) ran full. I've deleted some files, so now there is plenty of space again. But for some reason, the ecryptfs filesystem randomly unmounts.

If that happens, I just run ecryptfs-mount-private, enter my passphrase, and everything is fine again for some time, but then it unmounts again.

Any idea what could be wrong there and how to fix that?

Here are my /var/log/syslog lines for a timeframe within which the problem occurred:

There is nothing related in dmesg (last entry is from the boot process).

Update: I've also checked the SMART status off all disks, and there don't seem to be any problems. Output from smartctl -a /dev/sdb:
