Udiskie mounting device with appended integer on remount

[jasonwryan]

I have I have a USB hard drive, labelled Apollo. On the first attempted mount, after a boot, it is successfully mounted to /media/Apollo as expected.

On subsequent attempts to mount it, it more often than not creates two mountpoints in /media: Apollo and Apollo1 and mounts the drive to the latter.

This is an issue because I have a systemd.service waiting for a mount at media-Apollo.mount, so it is not fired in the latter case. I then have to manually clean up /media/Apollo after successfully unmounting the drive.

It looks like there is some sort of race, and the initial, correct mountpoint is not available in time, so udiskie creates another.

Udiskie 1.7.3

The debug log looks innocuous to me, so if you need further logs, please let me know.

Hi,

thanks for your report.

This looks like the same issue as in #104 and #137 which cannot be fixed in udiskie as it does not run with root permissions. I thought this situation had improved in more recent udisks versions. What is your version of udisks?

Best, Thomas

Do you usually un- and remount the device in short succession?

[jasonwryan]

Thanks, Thomas.

Yes, it is very similar to the other reports, but udiskie does clean up the used mountpoint (/media/Apollo1), it is just the failed mountpoint that I have to manually remove.

No, I don't usually mount/remount in short succession. But I was debugging an error with the systemd service, and that rabbit hole led to this one :p

udisks2 2.7.6-3ubuntu0.2

FWIW, I have not encountered this error on Arch, nor can I reproduce on any of my Arch boxes (udisks2 2.8.4).

Cheers,

I'm seeing something similar upgrading from Debian 10 (buster) to Debian 11 (bullseye). I don't recall seeing it earlier, and definitely did not see it with buster.

udiskie normally uses /media/faheem/My Passport but is currently using /media/faheem/My Passport1. This started after my upgrade this morning.

My version of udisk2 is 2.9.2-2 and of udiskie is 2.3.2-2. These are both the current bullseye versions.

I'm using these mount points for backup, so they get mounted and unmounted throughout the day.

Since the mount points are hardwired into scripts, it obviously doesn't work for me if they keep changing. If I keep seeing problems, I'll consider the workaround described in this thread.

Is there anything I can do debug this?
