Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

I've got my root fs on unencrypted /dev/sda1 and /var /home and swap are logical volumes on an encrypted 140GB lvm volume on /dev/sda5. Generally everything works fine, but nautilus shows this 140GB volume in the side pane suggesting that it's not mounted yet and that it can be browsed (see screenshot). When I click it an error window saying "Unable to mount 140 GB LVM2 Physical Volume Not a mountable file system" appears.

It's rather low prio as it does not break anything, but just introduces some confusion.

Thank you for your bug report, could you add a gvfs-mount -li log?

I've got the same problem with Karmic. It shows a 500GB LVM volume in my nautilus view and "Places" menu which doesn't respond to my passphrase. The system works normally and was upgraded from a Jaunty install which I set up with the Alternate CD and encrypted LVM volumes. Peculiarly it doesn't even show up in the gvfs-mount list:

System function normal, cryptsetup message and passphrase prompt during boot as usual and functional.
