Package: libhal-storage1
Version: 0.5.8.1-7
Severity: normal

Since a very recent update to HAL (or possibly gnome-vfs or udev, I'm
not sure) after I log in from the gdm screen, I get a dialog box asking
me to enter a pass phrase to decrypt /dev/hda5.  This is a container
partition for LVM.  It's encrypted, but it has already been unlocked by
the initrd (the computer cannot boot without decrypting it).  I should
not be prompted again for the pass phrase.

Fortunately, I can just push "cancel" and the box goes away with no ill
effects, so this is just an annoyance.

I observe that Nautilus' "Computer" window shows a mysterious "74.3GB Volume"
icon, and that double clicking on it gets me an error dialog box:

Unable to mount the selected volume.

libhal-storage.c 1401 : info: called libhal_free_dbus_error but dbuserror was 
not set.
process 4078: applications must not close shared connections - see 
dbus_connection_close() docs. this is a bug in the application.
error: device /dev/hda5 is not removable
error: could not execute pmount

which looks like another symptom of the same problem -- the container
partition is perhaps being mistaken for a removable disk?

[My setup is the standard "encrypted hard drive" option in d-i, by the way.]
