Description Rui Zhao 2022-05-19 15:59:22 UTC
Starting from some version (within a year), the disk part of the system monitor no longer shows a LUKS device/partition and its decrypted device separately.
It can correctly display the remaining space, so it looks as it it is reading from the decrypted device.
However, it only shows "xxx GB Encrypted Device" as the name (because the encrypted LUKS device is not labelled), instead of the label of the filesystem (in the decrypted device).

Expected behaviour:  (either)
- Show them as two separate devices (as it used to be)
- Show name and space from the decrypted device if exists

I'm sorry we weren't able to address this before now. The system monitor has had a lot of work since this request was opened. 
We tested this on git-master and it looks like the problem has been fixed. The Disk Monitor widget, which would pull its information from the same source, shows labels for LUKS partitions.

If you're still experiencing a problem, please reopen this bug report, and please attach a screenshot showing the problem. Thanks!
