Hi,

i've a LUKS encrypted external 640GB WD USB Drive with ext4. When i plug
in the drive with Fedora 11, a prompt appears to enter the password.
After this, the drives icon is easy accessible on the desktop. 

Now i've tried this with Fedora 12. Nothing happend, the drive doesn't
appears in "Computer" but i can mount and access it manually.

# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 external
# mkdir /mnt/external
# mount -t ext4 /dev/mapper/external /mnt/external

A none encrypted USB Stick work as expected. May i miss something? 

Thanks for help.
