Most of users use a standard KDE or Gnome mount dialogs instead of usbmount package that they need to find and install manually. And Ubuntu must give they the easy way to select mount type with KDE, Gnome or another DE interface like in Windows (Removable drive configuration - Performance or Quick eject). -- Removable devices should be automounted synchronously https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139962 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the fact that both KDE and GNOME
present mount dialogs for the user: usbmount is *not* meant to be used
with KDE or GNOME.
It leverages the facilities of udev to provide a way to mount devices
for people that are using windows managers or just a plain console as
their working environment.
And Ubuntu must give they the easy way to select mount type with KDE,
Gnome or another DE interface like in Windows (Removable drive
configuration - Performance or Quick eject).
The Desktop Environments already provide a way for users to accomplish
that task. Those users are out of the target audience for usbmount. If
the filesystems should be mounted with the sync or async options, then
this should be reported to the users preferred desktop environment.
Basically, besides the documentation, I can't see anything that
usbmount should do.
Regards, Rogério Brito.

I think there are must be a page in systemsettings (or at first - text config file, cli configurator) in that user can select the default mount option for new usb devices (sync or async) and maybe for standard device types (usb drive, usb hdd, etc). -- Removable devices should be automounted synchronously https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139962 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am the upstream maintainer of this bug. I can add this in the next upload to Debian (I'm releasing updates quite frequently now that I've adopted the package). You can minimize this problem by using sync on your system. Or mount the device with the sync option, like the configuration file says (you read the configuration file, right?). Be aware that low-quality media doesn't perform wear levelling and this might make the media have its life shortened if used with the sync mount option. Regards, Rogério Brito. P.S.: The new version of usbmount also supports firewire devices. -- Removable devices should be automounted synchronously https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139962 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

And how would the system know if this is a small USB key or an integral part of the operating system on an external USB hard drive? In the latter case the 'small' gain (I know nothing about the gain) would be very important. ** Changed in: usbmount (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None = usbmount -- Removable devices should be automounted synchronously https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139962 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 139962] Re: Removable devices should be automounted synchronously
I must confess to not being that technically savvy about Linux but surely it's possible for it to tell the difference? It even shows up as a USB key icon when it automounts, that would suggest to me that Linux can detect a USB key-type device. Even if it can't distinguish, I'd like to see synchronous mounting by default for any plugin device. It just makes more sense, because you're far more likely to be writing data to it in one synchronous chunk than running an app or something that has lots of data access. However, I bet it can distinguish USB keys and at least they should be mounted synchronously. -- Removable devices should be automounted synchronously https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139962 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
