[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#561405: cryptsetup partition on removable drive no longer automounted

[Johannes Rohr]

Package: devicekit-disks
Version: 009-2
Severity: normal

Sorry for nagging, but the bug is still there, the luks partition on my USB
drive is still not shown in Nautilus and the output of devkit-disks --show-info
/dev/sdb7 looks like devicekit-disks does not recognize the partition as what
it is. I can try "devkit-disk --mount /dev/sdb7" manually, but then it says I
have to indicate the fstype. Now, I tried something like --mount-fstype luks,
but this didn't really help. The documentation is not particularly helpful on
this one. 

Could it be a matter of specific dbus authorizations being necessary? What
partition id does devicekit-disks expect for luks? I guess it is the standard
0x83, am I wrong?

The output of dpkg -L devicekit-disks actually looks as if the package is
supposed to handle luks devices, but, alas, at least in my case it does not.
