Hi,
I found that problem with the gnome desktop on latest intrepid:
ubuntu has a pretty good support of USB-Sticks (pendrives), they are
automounted if plugged in. Even better, if the partition is encrypted
with cryptsetup, a password requester appears and the encrypted device
is mounted. Great. :-)
But then, there are plenty of USB sticks/pendrives, that do not come with a
partition table, but are used as one large partition by default (i.e. have
their filesystem on /dev/sdc instead of /dev/sdc1). The gnome desktop mounts
them as well as they are unencrypted.
But when a whole stick (like /dev/sdc) has a cryptsetup-encrypted
filesytem, Ubuntu still can raise the password requester, but then does
not mount the device. It takes manual intervention.
Of course, would be easy to put a partition table on the stick with
fdisk, but that's a workaround, not a bug fix.
regards
Hadmut
