How to unlock LUKS encrypted partition as normal user?
Hi.
I'd like to know if there is a specific way to mount and unlock a LUKS encrypted partition as a normal user?
Right now I have two disks in my PC, one which contains / and /home (let it be sda), and the other which serves as backup (it should be sdb). On sdb I have one specific partition (sdb2) which is LUKS encrypted, and is not automounted at boot. I added sdb2 to fstab as /dev/mapper/luks-a123456-7890-etc with a predefined mount point (which is not the default mount location). This is an ext4 formatted luks partition, and has the noauto,user options in the fstab.
Despite the above mentioned setup, a root password is also asked after I provided the password necessary to unlock the encryption. I'm simply trying to access this partition through dolphin.
Could someone describe how to make it work without a root password? Thanks in advance.
P.S.: I'm using gentoo stable by the way.
