Package: usbmount Severity: normal Hello,
I tested Jan's patch with a flash drive that has 12 partitions on it. The original position of the locking code just at the beginning of the "add" handler will usually only be able to mount 3 to 4 partitions on my machine before lockfile-create will give up. Jan has proposed a more logical position right before usbmount actually deals with the outside world - putting the locking code there (as a whole or as a function call) will consistently yield the expected usbmount behaviour: mounting of all 12 partitions. This solution doesn't scale very well either, though, because we're using `lockfile-create --retry 3` which waits in fixed time intervals between retries (+5sec on every retry, ie 15sec after the third try), thus increasing the likelihood of deadlocks. In my 12-partition-scenario, the last partitions get sometimes mounted in the third (and last) retry cycle of lockfile-create (after ~30 sec). In any case, we should adopt Jan's patch, thereby closing this bug for n-in-1 devices where n < 10.
