Public bug reported:
I've formatted multiple flash drives (all different manufacturers) with
an Ext4/LUKS partition using multiple machines that were all running
16.04. The partition is created successfully, can be mounted/dismounted
and the contents of the encrypted partition are viewable. However, on
machines other than the one which was used to format the flash drives
the LUKS partition can be mounted but the contents are not readable.
Nautilus provides a "The location could not be displayed. You do not
have the permissions necessary to view the contents of $DRIVE_NAME"
message.
I formatted a flash drive with an Ext4/LUKS partition using the Gnome
Disk Utility on Fedora 24 and everything works as it should, so this
definitely seems to be an issue with Ubuntu formatting the partitions.
