I have a LUKS encrypted partition on a second hard drive that I use on my computer. When I turn on my computer, it is encrypted unless I go to it and try to open it, an operation that the system then does on its own because when I did it for the first time I left the password recorded. That is, I click on it, and the system mounts it unencrypted for me.
It has come to our attention that this operation has, for some time now, been mounting the relevant partition on the hard drive in issue in read-only mode. It was never like that; instead, it was always mounted together with the appropriate write privileges. And I did not alter anything at all! What can I do to find a solution to this issue?
I am in possession of the password for the partition. OS version is 22.04
I used dmesg and found this information:
