USB key encrypted password setting not sticky

[peterzay]

In Ubuntu 10.04, I formatted and encrypted a USB key with the Disk Utility 2.30.1 GUI. When I insert this USB key into 10.04 and set the option Forget password immediately, it is remembered thereafter for all future uses.

In Ubuntu 10.10, upon inserting the above key formatted and encrypted in 10.04, this option is NOT remembered. You always get the default: Remember password until you logout. This could be a potential security vulnerability.

Note that this bug is absent from Xubuntu 11.10 Oneiric. This is very surprising.

This bug is still unresolved in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise beta 11-feb-2012.

Given the LTS status of this release, I urge you to fix this asap.

When you key in the password and hit enter, the mouse pointer changes to busy for about 10-15 seconds.

This is a new issue.
