Hi,
when I geli attach encrypted disks, they do not show up as mountable 
from KDE.

E.g. - before geli attach
% ls /dev/da0*
/dev/da0
/dev/da0p1 <- this is unencrypted and is available to be mounted
/dev/da0p2 <- this is enctrypted and is - correctly - not available

- after geli attach
% ls /dev/da0*
/dev/da0
/dev/da0p1 <- same as before
/dev/da0p2 <- same as before
/dev/da0p2.eli <- this device is not available to be mounted by KDE. It 
can be mounted manually, but not via KDE


Can this be solved somehow? Is there a way to tell KDE to "rescan" the 
list of available disks? Or explicitly inform that /dev/da0p2.eli can be 
mounted?

Thank you.
