KDE 4.1 mounting LUKS devices

Hello all,

i have a question about LUKS devices in KDE-4.1.2 (gentoo).

My situation is as follows:
  1. If i add a luks encrypted usb device to my box, the newly connected devices is shown in dolphin.
  2. If i click on this device, i'm asked to enter a passphrase. Finally the device gets available as /dev/mapper/luks_crypto_[id] device (at least if i enter the correct phrase).
  3. But then the device gets not mounted. If i click on the device in dolphin again, nothing happens. (I would expect, that a new tab with the device gets opened (or something similar))
It seems, that the device is mapped as a available block-device, but dolphin can not mount it. Is that kind of "dynamical mounting" supported in dolphin (or kde)?

Should do HAL, or a helper like ivman do this job?

Thanks for any hints.



Best regards
Christian
