For removable devices I use 10 second unmount delay. Zero problems with BSD amd so far. I have used it for many years to mount removable unencrypted devices like floppies, CD-ROMs, and USB-sticks. Little window shows me what automounted devices are currently mounted. I take a look at that window before I yank a removable automounted device. > Do you get the password-question on the commandline with an unencrypted > key-file (with Linux)? Nope. I tested it using encrypted key files that were stored at beginning of each floppy. Passphrase to decrypt each per floppy key file was read from encrypted file system using "mount ... -p3 3<clearpassword" inside a script that amd runs when it wants a file system mounted. > If not, then the loop-aes-utils package from Debian-SID contains the bug. Nope. mount -p3 makes password-question go away. -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
