Ah, I figured out why it only happens sometimes. gdu monitor's update_volume() sets automount flag to TRUE in general. However, it is set to FALSE if the media detection time is older than the "new volume" detection by 5 seconds or more. Thus if dk-disks was already running, starting gvfs will usually set automount to FALSE since the difference will be more than 5 seconds. The rationale is:
/* If a volume (partition) appear _much later_ than when media was insertion it * can only be because the media was repartitioned. We don't want to automount * such volumes. */ But if gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor triggers dk-disks startup, the "last media detection" time will be almost equal to "new volume", and automount will be TRUE. I think we should generally disable automounting for system internal drives. -- all disks and partitions are automounted in the live session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451613 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
