Bug Description

When clicking on an encrypted device with a GUID Partition Table in Nautilus, nautilus unlocks the device but the partitions on the unlocked device never show up or get mounted. No new device mappings show up for the partitions.

Problem appears to be that udisks does not detect and add mappings for the gpt partitions.

Possible workaround by adding mappings with kpartx and then mount devices manually
    $sudo kpartx -a <LUKS_DEVICE>
    $sudo mount <LUKS_DEVICE>p1 DIR
etc

For this to work, cryptsetup needs a udev rule to run kpartx on the activated device when partitions are detected.

summary: - udisks does not recognize GPT partitions
+ partitions on crypt devices not recognized
affects: udisks (Ubuntu) → cryptsetup (Ubuntu)
