[Kde-hardware-devel] Cryptsetup unlocking support

Hi,

When we mount a USB stick with a cryptsetup LUKS partition inside it, it 
seems that there's no way to unlock it through a GUI. Gnome spawns a 
gnome-disk-utility dialog. Actually what's done behind is pretty simple:

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdxy test

and then provide a passphrase.

Call

cryptsetup luksClose test

at the end.

Are there any support for this in KDE 4.6? Or any plans?

Thanks,

Ozan Caglayan
