I am using Ubuntu 16.04 (which is upgraded from 14.04).

I have created a LUKS volume with cryptsetup on my external harddrive.

The problem is, everytime I connect the harddrive, ubuntu prompts me for a passphrase. I believe this is normal behaviour. The prompt is as follows

Ubuntu prompts passphrase to unlock volume

But, I need to disable this behaviour, I don't want ubuntu to ask me password, NOR i want to put the password on some file.

How can I tell ubuntu to ignore the LUKS encrypted harddrive ? I want to connect the drive, ubuntu keep quiet, and I will mount the drive myself, ie with cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdX.

I have tried to put rd.luks=0 at boot parameter, but it doesn't works. And please, the solutions should allow ubuntu to automount non-encrypted drive.

Thank you.
