In pam_mount, which is imho the best solution to mount user homes at login, there is also a "mount.crypt" and "umount.crypt" script. A big advantage of "mount.crypt" is, that it also performs an fsck when necessary. With mount.crypt in /sbin you can use in fstab: /dev/CRYPTED /mnt/media crypt noatime,noexec,nodev,noauto,user 0 0 (/dev/CRYPTED is the raw luks device) And then as a user it should be possible to mount /dev/CRYPTED to /mnt/media with $ mount /mnt/media A problem is, that "umount /mnt/media" only unmounts /mnt/media, but does not close the luks device. Here one needs to use "umount.crypt /mnt/media". I have not tested above, but I use "mount -t crypt /dev/CRYPTED /mnt/media" sometimes manually.
