Title:
  luks encrypted volumes are not multi-user friendly

Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cryptsetup

  An encrypted volume is not easily shared among multiple users on the
  same system.

  Steps to Reproduce:
  On PC #1
  -Make sure that cryptsetup is installed
  -Open gnome-disk-utility's palimsest (System > Administration > Disk Utility)
  -Insert USB disk and format it selecting "Encrypt underlying layer"
  -Provide password and format

  On PC #2
  -Make sure you have 2 admin users and that cryptsetup is installed
  -Log in to first user
  -Insert disk and enter passphrase
  -Log out of first use and log into second user (switching users would also do)
  -Select encrypted disk from "Places Menu"

  Result: Error occurs. (error is different in 10.04 vs 10.10)
  10.10 - unable to mount <label> - /dev/dm-0 is mounted

  Expected: Encrypted volumes should be multi-user friendly. If second
  user has the correct passphrase they should be able to see the disk.
