Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-mount
I'm using a luks encryped USB-HDD, which worked perfectly with Feisty.
But with Gutsy the HDD does not get automounted reliably.
Most oft the time it just works for the first time when the HDD is plugged in.
Which means:
* plug in the HDD, wait a few seconds
* the password dialog pops up - enter the password
* a Nautilus window with the content the disk pops up
* unmount and unplug the disk
* again, plug in the disk
* no password dialog, nothing else to see on the desktop
Also login again does not fix the problem, you have to reboot to get
gnome-mount working angain.
But when Gnome fails to mount the disk it is still possible to mount it
manually, using the cryptsetup and mount commands.
Sometimes it also happens that the automont does not work on the first
time the HDD is plugged in. When this happens, the password dialog pops
up, but the disk does not get mountet. The cryptsetup command seems to
work, but the disk is not mountet in /media. In this situation the
/dev/mapper entry is created, and you just need to mount it with the
mount command.
