I have the same problem in Xfce (Thunar and Desktop). All my LUKS-based
volumes are showing up as ejectable devices even though they aren't
removable, including eg: my already mounted home directory. The fix
above works for me, too.

However, I've seen similar reports for Nautilus as well and not only for
LUKS devices but also for LVM volumes, so I'd guess the problem is
somewhere in a lower layer, ie gvfs or udisks, and not with udev.

Have either of the gvfs or udisks Maintainers seen this before? Do you
have an idea what could be going on?
