Bug Description

Binary package hint: udev

udev (through blkid) fails to identify crypt_LUKS data partition.
It creates no /dev/disk/by-uuid/ link.

The partition was created with cryptsetup on hardy ( cryptsetup 1.0.5 ).
The partition can be mapped and mounted through cryptsetup on karmic( cryptsetup 1.0.6 ). It is not corrupted.

I will post some more informations, after the jump

Yes, I know the bug report #362315, I was reading it and I'm not amused!

The difference is: If my partition were only swap, I would say nothing!
But: This partition keeps my most important files!

I know, I have a backup, but I don't want to restore 32G Data, capisch?

So now: It is not an question if blkid is buggy.
It is an affirmative!

I would be glad to help, however.

Best Regards
