** Description changed: Binary package hint: cryptsetup + + When creating an encrypted drive in Palimsest (Disk Utility), the + application does not lock the disk when finished creating the encrypted + partition. Failing to lock the drive manually without ejecting will give + the appearance that the disk is no longer usable giving this error. + Bringing the key to another computer works because the luks mapper point + is not unlocked and already present on that system. Steps to reproduce: 1) Go into palimsest (disk utility) and create an encrypted partition on an external disk. 2) Quit Palimsest 3) Pull the USB stick 4) Intert the USB stick Result: GNOME displays a dialog for the password. Once submitted, the following error comes up: Error unlocking device: cryptsetup exited with exit code 239: Command failed: Device already exists This is due to the mapping being Opened when the disk is created, but never closed, which creates a conflict. Workaround: Do the following to resolve the conflict of the existing device i /dev/mapper. $ ls -al /dev/mapper (Identify the mount point for your drive, "sudo blkid" may help) $ sudo cryptsetup luksClose devkit-disks-luks-uuid-<uuid>-uid1000 What is expected: Palimsest (Disk Utility) is expected to "cryptsetup luksClose" the mapped device when finished creating the encrypted partition.
