** 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. + Bringing the key to another computer works because the drive is not + unlocked (luks mapper point is not 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.
