Hi all... Since some time ago, automounting of media (USB, CD) seems gone nuts. How can I debug this ? First of all, I have udisks2 installed, not udisks, even if the later is also in the repos. I suppose newer version supersedes it, as it is required by gnome-disk-utility (formerly palimpsest).
For example, when inserting a USB thumb drive, udev seems to catch it: werewolf:~# udevadm monitor monitor will print the received events for: UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing KERNEL - the kernel uevent KERNEL[8140.437415] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4 (usb) KERNEL[8140.437527] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0 (usb) KERNEL[8140.437682] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17 (scsi) KERNEL[8140.437767] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/scsi_host/host17 (scsi_host) UDEV [8140.444785] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4 (usb) UDEV [8140.449742] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0 (usb) UDEV [8140.452579] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17 (scsi) UDEV [8140.455196] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/scsi_host/host17 (scsi_host) KERNEL[8141.438425] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0 (scsi) KERNEL[8141.438459] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0 (scsi) KERNEL[8141.438636] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0/scsi_disk/17:0:0:0 (scsi_disk) KERNEL[8141.438658] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0/scsi_device/17:0:0:0 (scsi_device) KERNEL[8141.438679] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0/bsg/17:0:0:0 (bsg) UDEV [8141.441583] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0 (scsi) KERNEL[8141.441768] add /devices/virtual/bdi/8:128 (bdi) UDEV [8141.444283] add /devices/virtual/bdi/8:128 (bdi) UDEV [8141.444538] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0 (scsi) UDEV [8141.447279] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0/scsi_disk/17:0:0:0 (scsi_disk) UDEV [8141.447705] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0/scsi_device/17:0:0:0 (scsi_device) UDEV [8141.447880] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0/bsg/17:0:0:0 (bsg) KERNEL[8141.584293] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0/block/sdi (block) KERNEL[8141.584332] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0/block/sdi/sdi1 (block) UDEV [8141.813113] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0/block/sdi (block) UDEV [8141.919823] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb7/7-4/7-4:1.0/host17/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0/block/sdi/sdi1 (block) Also udisks2: werewolf:~# udisksctl monitor Monitoring the udisks daemon.
