Re: automatically mounting physically attached media (was Re: Move from /media to /run/media/$USER)

[Jonathan Kamens <jik@xxxxxxxxx>]

Three use cases in which in my opinion the behavior is clearly incorrect:

Case 1:

1. Put DVD in drive while logged in. DVD is mounted.
2. Reboot computer and log back in. DVD is not mounted. It should be.

Case 2:

1. Put DVD in drive before logging in. DVD is not mounted.
2. Log in. DVD is not mounted. It should be.

Case 3:

1. Put DVD in drive while logged in. DVD is mounted.
2. Log out. DVD stays mounted under /run/media/$USER. It should have been unmounted when you logged out.
3. Log back in as another user. DVD is still mounted under /run/media/previous-$USER. It should have been remounted under your $USER.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but that's not what I want.

If it is the position of the Fedora developers that /run/media/$USER
is the right place for stuff to be mounted, and I don't have a
particular problem with that decision, then I want that behavior,
i.e., the behavior that the developers think is correct, with the F16
behavior of the device being mounted automatically when I log in.

Why shouldn't it act that way?

Oh, I see. I don't know about that. I don't know if there's a way to
make GNOME mount devices on login rather than on access. I think that's
a GNOME policy question rather than a udisks one. It may be worth asking
on the desktop list. Matthias, are you reading this?

So, I'm a bit confused. I tried to reproduce this with a USB stick today.

If I plug it in while I'm logged in, it shows up. I log out and log back in,
and it still shows up.

If I reboot, plug it in during GDM, and then log in... it shows up. Under
what circumstance does it not show up for you?
