I'm looking into this and it absolutely does not make any sense, you're right. I've got a sample patch that will solve it that I'll propose to the Gnome folks, but I think personally that my patch is just a quick hack and something more comprehensive would be better (the types of filesystems that are checked should be configurable, at least through gconf or similar--my patch just hardcodes a check for "autofs"). Note this won't help the problem of non-expiring mounts: if you DO have a .Trash file on the filesystem then, as you point out, this will keep the partition mounted all the time. Gross. FYI, it happened again last night and again, the last thing in the log was the .Trash thing. However, I don't think that's the instigator per se but rather a signpost. It appears that whenever any filesystem is mounted or unmounted, that silly .Trash search is triggered; apparently the gvfsd-trash applet has an inotify or dbus or something set up to find out when a mount or unmount happens. I think it's the mount or (more likely) unmount that is both causing the problem, AND triggering the .Trash search. Anyway, I get those annoying .Trash messages many times a day but it never seems to cause any problem. But soon after I lock my system and go home for the night, then it happens. Last night I left about 7pm, and the problem occurred at 9:43pm. I'll set up the debugging you asked for, thanks. Stay tuned for tomorrow! _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
