Package: usbmount
Severity: normal

Hello Jan,

I have just looked at #403209 and the patch proposed there seems to me
to lead straight into race conditions upon finding a free mount point
(see there for further reference).

The problem you described sounds almost as if you had the #403209-patch
applied, but I assume there's a different problem at work.  I will try
to find and reactivate an old USB-IDE and partition it heavily in order
to try and reproduce your report.

Your patch, by the way, looks good to me!  usbmount only needs to lock right
before search a free mount point and putting logically related code in a
separate function is almost always a good idea.  So, yeah, I think we
should use that.

Best Regards,
  Hagen Fuchs
