Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gvfs

Problem:

When multiple users are logged in, and the console user plugs in an
external USB drive, GNOME randomly selects a user to automount the drive
on, instead of the console user. In multi-partition drives, different
partitions are mounted to different users. The console user receives a
dialog box with error in the style of "/dev/sdf3 is busy" whenever a
partition is mounted to a non-console user.

Expected behavior:

The system should either mount the partition read/write to all users, or
should mount the partition only to the console user. It should not mount
partitions to random users on an exclusive basis.

Reproducible: 100%
