Unassigned Devices Creating and Mounting XFS Encrypted Volumes...

[Mysticle31]

I bought a new hdd for encrypted offline storage.  I can create the XFS encrypted volume in Unassigned Devices but it refuses to mount the partition.  No errors, no logs, just click mount and nothing. 

 

I cannot see my device under /dev/mapper.

 

How can I mount this manually?  Where do I start to diagnose?

Got it.  This probably doesn't help the community, mods can remove.

You don't need to mount it manually.  Look in the log and you'll see why it didn't mount.  Probably a password issue.  Set the disk password in the UD Settings for that particular disk.
