[Bug 396448] Re: inconsistent automounting on startup
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: devicekit-disks
When starting a GNOME session without dk-disks running already, gvfs
D-BUS activates dk-disks, which causes an automount attempt on internal
hard disks. This doesn't happen if dk-disks is already running.
I suspect it's due to dk-disks sending out new volume events during
coldplugging.
Reproducer:
- ps ux|grep gvfs|awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill
- gvfs-mount -l
+ ps ux|grep gvfs|awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill
+ gvfs-mount -l
This does not trigger automounting. However, if this spawns dk-disks it
happens:
- sudo killall devkit-disks-daemon
- ps ux|grep gvfs|awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill
- gvfs-mount -l
+ sudo killall devkit-disks-daemon
+ ps ux|grep gvfs|awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill
+ gvfs-mount -l

Martin, I would say the fix is confirmed. The versions of the packages in comment #20 are still the same. I ran updates yesterday and it seemed to fix the issue. I do not get a dialog at the start of the session for a disk I did not ask to mount. If I mount the drive manually I am still asked for a password, and I am not too sure how to suppress that. I have added the partition to /etc/fstab for now, which mounts the partition without needing the password. Please let me know if running these or other commands is still needed on my part.

Yes, I updated last night (to the versions specifies in comment #20) and
rebooted this morning. I still get prompted to enter a password for the
secondary internal drive at the beginning of the gnome session.
OK, so this requires some deeper debugging then, as it is apparently a
different root cause than the one that everyone else had and which was
fixed now.
Please try the following command sets in the given order and check
which ones cause this dialog box to appear:
1.
killall nautilus
2.
kill `ps ux|grep usr/lib/gvfs|awk '{print $2}'`
gvfs-mount -l
3.
kill `ps ux|grep usr/lib/gvfs|awk '{print $2}'`

4.

5.

What does the dialog say? I now get prompted for a password when mounting a secondary disk, and I'm in the sudoers file as NOPASSWD. Mounting has not been done through sudo since at least Breezy (5.10), so sudoers won't have an effect. secondary disk - internal hard disk? Then that's correct and expected.

[Bug 396448] Re: inconsistent automounting on startup
I can confirm that in Karmic, every time I start a session from boot I get prompted for my password again to mount an internal disk/partition that I never asked to have mounted. If we are to mount partitions at boot, should we not have a way of configuring them (with options like passwd, nopasswd, mount at boot, don't mount at boot, custom mountpoint) The system tries to mount another drive/partition. I see many issues with this: 1) window is above all others by default 2) user never requested this be mounted at boot/session-start (not in /etc/fstab) 3) there is no way to have it go away or mark as authorize for always (i.e. never ask me again) 4) it does not ask to mount any other partitions, it picks one and sticks to it Attached is a picture of this authenticate dialog which is displayed every session-start. I also get a similar one when trying to eject a video DVD. ** Attachment added: dialog_at_session-start.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30493532/dialog_at_session-start.png -- inconsistent automounting on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396448 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

[Bug 396448] Re: inconsistent automounting on startup
In my view, auto-mounting is inherently more complex than has been addressed, and the current handling is flawed, more so in Karmic compared to previous versions (or to Fedora 11, which also uses DeviceKit). Due to the challenges, this comment is longish. To avoid burying an important point, I'll state it up front, rather than at the end. * As challenging as the auto-mounting problem is, one policy would be really useful, and would allow us to separate out the complex cases from the common one. But how would you express and implement a policy that if there is a SINGLE partition, auto-mount IT; if there are MULTIPLE partitions, auto-mount NONE? * As for auto-mounting issues, David Zeuthen explained elsewhere that Nautilus doesn't treat non-removable different from removable when it comes to mounting file systems. [If] there's a mountable filesystem on a device, it is mounted. If you don't like automounting, turn it off in Nautilus. ON or OFF is a pretty coarse-grained situation. :-) Users may start up with internal drives and external drives, or not, at any given instance, and want different policies. OK, so let's use /etc/fstab? How do you describe an entry in /etc/fstab to ignore a partition without having to describe details about it, such as UUID and file system that could change?. Let's make it even more fun.David explained the behavior that I have seen related to differential treatment of the same drive depending on whether it is attached via eSATA or USB, authorization is different depending on whether the device is considered system-internal or not. So for the SAME partition, we now have different interpretations for auto-mounting, depending on connector, despite the fact that it is removable and hot-pluggable in all cases. Now lets consider scenarios from my own systems: A) An internal drive has multiple distro partitions and shared partitions. I only want the partitions I explicitly state that I want mounted. Karmic now tries to mount everything if auto-mounting is not turned off, which means turned off for everything. I should NOT have to edit /etc/fstab to exclude partitions, but since we now do, that should have been addressed as part of the install process, and a GUI provided to the end user. B) I attach USB, eSATA, or docked drives that have MULTIPLE partitions, and I do NOT want them automounted when connected. As before, Karmic attempts to mount them all, with or without authorization depending upon connector type. And, as noted in Bug 412449, when I click to unmount one, Karmic removes the entire device (again, depending on connector type). Hopefully, upstream will implement the proposals to separate drive and volume in the GUI. C) I attach various SDHC and USB drives with single partitions. I do want the partition mounted upon connect, *BUT* I may also want to specify mount options, such as the noatime option in the /etc/fstab example below. Are you proposing that I have an entry in fstab for every jump drive?David made a suggestion about using /etc/fstab with /dev/disk/by-path, but I tried that and observed that given: /dev/disk/by-path/pci-:15:00.2-part1 /media/SDHC auto defaults,noauto,user,noatime 0 0 Attempting to solve the problem that way creates the following issues: 1. The mount point (e.g., /media/SDHC) must be specified, rather than vary by partition label 2. It does not support multiple partitions 3. Without that entry, NTFS formatted media works; with it, NTFS formatted media will not mount via nautilus To match media attributes against /etc/fstab requires some seriously whacky udev ju-ju beyond the abilities of most users, and seems highly impractical compared to what would could do with HAL. So far I have not found out how DeviceKit-disks wants to manage it. I'm not even sure that DeviceKit wants to handle it, which means that we are losing that aspect of HAL, and need some sort of meta-data policy system to replace it. udev could do it if we had a means by which udev could tell DeviceKit what attributes to hold on to and use for a device. But then we get to explain udev to hoi paloi. -- inconsistent automounting on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396448 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
