Yes, I understood it well, what I meant is that before the fix, it could be that the 2nd user mounted the removable media even though the session was not active (just a guess though) > > Still one issue though, which should be reported as a separate bug: > > user 1 logs in > > user 1 inserts a removable media which is automounted > > user 2 logs in > > user 1 logs out > > user 2 is not able to unmount the removable media > > > > That one is also an issue.

Windows seems however to behave wrong in terms of removable media, as far as I have tested at work. Every user logged in as the control of the removable media, which can be problematic, as per my earlier example. > > I think that when a user logs out, the ownership of the removable media > > should be passed to another logged in user (problem is to know which > > user should get this ownership!) > > Or the media should rather be auto-unmounted and left there un-owned > until some other user chooses to mount it (via GUI not the commandline). > If you take your variant then you'll have to make a criteria which of > the let's say 5 still logged in user should get the ownership and what > happens if the original owner returns and wants its media back. :) No, it can't be unmounted: the second user, still logged in, could have files open on the removable media!
