I think there is a race condition or a similar problem with gnome-mount's handling of encrypted devices. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. There is an external HDD (USB) with two partitions, the second one encrypted with cryptsetup-luks, formatted with ext3. Nautilus correctly shows both partitions, the latter one as encrypted. 2. Click on it in Nautilus to mount it. 3. Provide the passphrase. Actual Results: The partition disappears from Nautilus and is not mounted. However, the opened luks-mapping appears as /dev/mapper/luks_crypto_[...] and can be mounted manually. Expected Results: Since the filesystem's label is "external" it should be mounted as /media/external I think this stuff worked more reliable with older versions but I'm really not sure and don't want to downgrade everything. However, I'll probably try downgrading gnome-mount when I find some time. The problem did not appear (yet) when there already existed a directory /media/external and Gnome instead had to create a directory /media/external_ to mount it. That's why I think it's a race condition.
It sound like this is really something you'd ask to upstream. Please report there and paste the URL here so we can keep track of the discussion.

luks as in _linux_ unified... and gnome-mount has only KEYWORDS="~x86-fbsd" now, closing as wontfix.
