Binary package hint: cryptsetup
An encrypted volume is not easily shared among multiple users on the
same system.
Steps to Reproduce:
On PC #1
-Make sure that cryptsetup is installed
-Open gnome-disk-utility's palimsest (System > Administration > Disk Utility)
-Insert USB disk and format it selecting "Encrypt underlying layer"
-Provide password and format
On PC #2
-Make sure you have 2 admin users and that cryptsetup is installed
-Log in to first user
-Insert disk and enter passphrase
-Log out of first use and log into second user (switching users would also do)
-Select encrypted disk from "Places Menu"
Result: Error occurs. (error is different in 10.04 vs 10.10)
10.10 - unable to mount <label> - /dev/dm-0 is mounted
Expected: Encrypted volumes should be multi-user friendly. If second
user has the correct passphrase they should be able to see the disk.
