Title:
  luks / encrypted  volume can not be closed

Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If you install ubuntu with the default full disk encryption option, it
  creates a partition as a luks container holding an lvm physical
  volume, which holds two logical volumes: one for root and one for
  swap.  If you boot the livecd, it shows an encrypted disk icon on the
  unity launcher.  Clicking this icon prompts for the luks password and
  then opens it, and the lvm inside is automatically mounted.  The
  encrypted physical volume vanishes from the unity launcher and the
  contained root partition is auto mounted.  Unmounting this partition
  still leaves the luks volume unlocked so you can remount it without
  having to supply the encryption password.

  Using the gnome disks utility to unlock the luks volume causes it to
  show up as if it is a sub-partition of the luks partition, and trying
  to click the lock icon to close the luks volume results in a giant
  error dialog because it is in use by the lvm volumes.  It should be
  smart enough to deactivate the vg contained in the luks volume so it
  can then deactivate the luks volume.
