[ udev rule to run cryptsetup on plugging in ]
Udev seems to recognize my drive but instead of creating /dev/mapper/usbhd I get some nonsense like /dev/mapper/temporary-cryptsetup-7501 or similar.
[...] cryptsetup creates this device to be able to access the key storage, then extracts the key and closes it again (you should not try to access this temporary-cryptsetup-XXXX device, as writing to it might destroy your LUKS header). This means that cryptsetup hangs in the middle of the process here.
Hmm, maybe you're trying to acces the HDD too soon? USB-HDD's generally take some time to initialize, so it might just be a timing issue. mvg, Guus
