Hi All,
Figured out a way to solve my problem.
I am looking for a "particular" encrypted stick, not any
old encrypted stick. So I piled five other stick in all
my front panel open ports. Then I checked /dev/disk/by-id.
Then I inserted that particular stick. Got the same by-id.
Then I removed them all and only reinserted that particular
stick. Got the same by-id. Then I removed that stick,
rebooted, waited for everything to settle, and inserted
that stick. Got the same by-id.
As"by-id" gives me the device number. I now know how to
locate that particular stick, which is what I wanted all
along. I can now start coding.
It would be nice to know how Xfce knows a stick is
encrypted, but I no longer need that information
for the task at hand.
