nautilus (or whatever) remounts automatically a cd/Usb key/SD card

solstice · 2011-11-23 16:46:12

I have seen this for quite a while

When I unmount a cd/dvd/usb key/sd card with the unmount command from nautilus (right-click on device in left panel and choose unmount safely), then nautilus or whatever instantly automatically remount the device that has just been unmounted !

I have taken the habit to use eject (from nautilus) instead because of the broken behavior of unmount (from nautilus)

I suspect the kernel or some udev rules to be the culprit but I really don't know. I think it even started before the switch to gnome 3

Any help to fix that would be appreciated. thanks

is this an archlinux bug ? a nautilius/gnome bug ? It would help if anyone having the problem speak out about that too.

I seem to remember having something similar happening once and it turned out to be that I was still installing devmon from an old script on install and yet gnome already had its own device monitor running.

Just make sure you haven't got two device monitors running.

ok. I have removed gnome-device-manager (which seems to be an obsolete package, right ?) and hal (and a few packages not found on arch repo or even aur)
but this is still happening

I don't have devmon installed here

Edit:
ok. I think I have found the problem
The first time the device is mange by ehci_hcd module and then when I unmount it, the ohci_hcd module kick in and begin to manage it and that causes udev and dbus to launch a new nautilus window
Once I have unmounted it a second time, it's ok. sight.

I have tried to blakclist ohci_hcd but it does not work and that it is not a good idea. I need it for my keyboard/mouse

I can't believe I am the only one to have such a problem
