Description:
HAL locks temp-cryptsetup devices, which produces error messages.
As these devices are marked as private, HAL shouldn't scan any of them.

cryptsetup still works, but the error messages are confusing the user and creating unnecessary panic, because encrypted disks are always a little fragile ;-)

For more information see:
http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/issues/detail?id=38#c13

There are some patches for fedora and debian:
