I have an encrypted partition on a USB stick.  The gnome-volume-manager

password.  I only get one chance, one failed attempt and I get a
dialogue telling me that the password was wrong, and that's it.

Can I somehow configure it to give me more than a single chance?
will check this up, as soon as i find where i have lost my usb key :(


Failing that, how do I trigger a new mount attempt, without having to
re-insert the USB stick again?

workaround

rmmod usb-storage
modprobe usb-storage

I found another workaround:

 % pmount-hal /dev/<device>

It would be a lot nicer to get a second chance with the flashy GUI
though :-)
