Timo: I installed clean jaunty with "standard" alternate CD HDD encryption. Jaunty ships with cryptsetup 1.0.6 and the problem which causes this was fixed in 1.0.7
from the mailing list in comment #16: cryptsetup 1.0.7 changelog: - Wipe start of device (possible fs signature) before LUKS-formatting. So this problem is not going to show up with everyone, but when it does it's nasty and very troublesome. I'll try some dd magic tomorrow to see if I can get the karmic kernel/initramfs to detect the partition correctly. -- external harddrive (luks encrypted) will not mount automatically https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/428435 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
