i have this issue too on lucid with cryptsetup 2:1.1.0~rc2-1ubuntu13 although the suggested work-around does not work for me. i've plugged in an external disk taken out of another ubuntu installation:
$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sde5 sde5_crypt (this makes available the -root and -swap partitions in /dev/mapper) $ sudo mount /dev/mapper/laptop-root /mnt/laptop-root (now i have just moved some files from the partition and am ready to unmount) $ sudo umount /mnt/laptop-root/ $ sudo cryptsetup luksClose sde5_crypt Device sde5_crypt is busy. $ is there any way to cleanly remove the drive without shutting down the whole system?? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529502 Title: cryptsetup luksClose fails with "busy" -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
