I am using Fedora and it uses SystemD. On the other hanjd, the HDD is
mounted when plugged in via GVFS and Gnome asks for the passphrase or
reads it from gnome's keyring. Coult this be raplaces by the smartcard
to use the gpg key in some way?

I tried to use g13 with dm-crypt, but this seems not to work on Frdora
for an unknown reason.

Regards,
Dirk
