Bug Description
Binary package hint: pmount
I have a couple of encrypted USB devices, when I plug the devices in Gnome-Volume-
The mapper is being properly created:
ls /dev/mapper
control
luks_crypto_
luks_crypto_
But pmount never mounts the volume.
When I try pmount -d /dev/luks_
resolved /dev/mapper/
mount point to be used: /media/
no iocharset given, current locale encoding is UTF-8
locale encoding uses UTF-8, setting iocharset to 'utf8'
Cleaning lock directory /var/lock/
device_whitelist: checking /etc/pmount.

find_sysfs_device: looking for sysfs directory for device 254:1
find_sysfs_device: checking whether /dev/mapper/
find_sysfs_device: major device numbers match
find_sysfs_device: minor device numbers also match, /dev/mapper/
device_removable: could not find a sysfs device for /dev/mapper/
policy check failed
I am able to mount the drive fine by using:
sudo mount /dev/mapper/
This is happening under Feisty up to date as of 02/25/2007
Thanks!
NB that Feisty does not use pmount any more. Please do the steps on https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingRe movableDevices and attach the logs, so that we can find out where the problem is.
If you want to use pmount, then you need to specify the real device (e. g. /dev/sda2), not the device mapper device.
