Could really do with some advice on an issue I’m having:

Overview:

My encrypted device is now missing from the encryption tab of the webui. How can I access the data on the drive?

Details:

I had an external disk set up with LUKS encryption. I wanted to add a backup so I connected another external drive and encrypted it too. I then realised that USB Backup isn't set up to work as standard with encrypted backup drives so I erased the second disk to start setting it up as a non-encrypted backup instead. However, there are now no devices showing in the storage/encryption tab.

How can I access my original encrypted disk?

I'm not that familiar with LUKS, so could really do with some advice. I know what I set as the cipher setting when I created the encrypted device and I know the passphrase, but without it showing in the encryption tab I'm not sure where to start.

More information: I have now also realised that although my disk is present in the Disks tab, it doesn't show in the Device dropdown of the "Create encrypted device" dialog. Additionally, in filesystems, the filesystem status is "Missing".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have started experiencing this today too, getting quite worried. Did either of you find a solution?

I've just started having this problem too. Did you find any help?

Does the Unitek SATA-USB 3 (posted by Agricola) have a non-controllable automatic sleep/spindown?

I've tried these Inateck adapters/enclosures:

- Inateck SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter (Amazon Link)

- Inateck 3.5 Inch HDD Enclosure, USB 3.0 Mesh Case (Amazon Link)

Both of which have a good connection/speed, but unfortunately seem to have built-in automatic sleep/spindown after 10-30 minutes of inactivity that can't be disabled

(I'm looking for something that I can leave running 24/7).

EDIT: Searching the Amazon Product Information I found a line that says "Automatic sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity" which makes me think it probably is the same situation as the Inateck adapters.
