Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 215246
A USB key luks does not mount properly from gnome
Last modified: 2013-03-05 22:48:00 EST
Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup a luks USB key eg http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=EncryptedDeviceUsingLUKS 2. plug disk into usb port. Gnome prompts for LUKS password. Authentication is ok 3. Disk is not mounted. But... [root@datou ~]# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 sdc1 Command failed: Device already exists [root@datou ~]# cryptsetup luksClose sdc1 [root@datou ~]# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 sdc1 Enter LUKS passphrase: key slot 0 unlocked. Command successful. [root@datou ~]# mount /dev/sdc1 /media/emount mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /media/emount busy Actual results: Mounting from the command line works if Gnome does not get the chance to lock the disk first. If Gnome gets a chance to attempt mount than it locks up the disk. Expected results: Disk should mount in Gnome once authentication has succeeded but does not. Additional info:
I've noticed the same problem under RHEL5.
