Description Alex Hultman 2012-04-10 02:42:08 UTC 
What is the reason for removing the option to specify how passwords are remembered when connecting to an encrypted disk?

In Fedora 16 / Gnome 3.2 you had three options; "remember forever", "forget immeadetly" and "remember till you log out". Fedora 17 / Gnome 3.4 comes with no options so you have to type the password every time you mount. And you now also have to enter the root password :/

I have two disks, both encrypted. I'd like to have my system disk remember the password to my other disk forever so I only have to type my password one time during boot. This was easy in Gnome 3.2 but seems impossible in 3.4.
