Hi all, I just got hit by few days back, got time and was able to track it down :-
Before insertion of the external hdd [$] ls -la /media total 48 drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jun 6 21:51 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jul 25 2013 cdrom -> cdrom0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 25 2013 cdrom0 drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 4096 Jun 6 11:15 shirish lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 7 11:34 usb -> usb0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb3 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb5 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb6 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb7 After insertion of the external hdd :- [$] ls -la /media ls: cannot access /media/usb0: Transport endpoint is not connected total 44 drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jun 6 21:51 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jul 25 2013 cdrom -> cdrom0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 25 2013 cdrom0 drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 4096 Jun 6 11:15 shirish lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 7 11:34 usb -> usb0 d?????????? ? ? ? ? ? usb0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb3 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb5 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb6 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:34 usb7 I did two changes in the usbmount.conf file. [$] cat /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf | grep fuseblk FILESYSTEMS="vfat ext2 ext3 ext4 hfsplus ntfs fuseblk" probably ntfs wasn't necessary but don't know hence keeping it there till somebody tells me otherwise. [$] cat /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf | grep VERBOSE VERBOSE=yes I do not understand if the following error is because of usbmount or some other package. [$] usbhid-dump libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/005/007: Permission denied libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. Failed to find and open the devices: Access denied (insufficient permissions) (ERROR_ACCESS) I did read the last message as well, what does that mean ? I have both usbdisk2 as well as usbmount. Would removing/purging usbmount bring back the how external hdd automount or does it go deeper ? Also I have both usbmount as well as udisks2 installed. Could that be an issue? usbmount can easily be purged , usbdisks2 takes another few softwares with it Look forward to knowing what is best to do in the current situation till the above issue is resolved to everyone's interests . I did a post of the same at http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=122679 and a user kiyop did share a workaround I knew but was not remembering the switches for it (basically manually mounting it as root). It does have the disadvantage that it doesn't show up in nautilus unless you open nautilus as root ( know it's a bad bad idea) so have to severe connection to the net when doing that way. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
