gvfs-mount and nautilus can't mount internal HDD

Hi,

since yesterday I'm not able to mount internal HDDs using nautilus anymore.
If I click on the partition I want to mount nautilus opens a new window and the old one is broken and has no content.

Executing gvfs-mount -d /dev/sdc1 results in
Error mounting /dev/sdc1: No object for D-Bus interface

If I unplug the internal SATA connection, wait until the drive is vanished and reconnect it everything is working fine and both nautilus and gvfs-mount can mount the partitions on that particular drive.
For other HDDs I have to do the same.

The solution I found in the Internet for the "No object for D-Bus interface" error was:

# umount -fl /home/user/.gvfs
# rm -rf /home/user/.gvfs

This folder does not exist.
However, I also found this:

# umount -fl /run/user/[USER ID]/gvfs
# rm -rf /run/user/[USER ID]/gvfs

These command executed. However, it didn't solve the problem.

I hope someone is able to help me because I need my internal drives and don't want to reconnect them every time I restart my PC.

Thanks

Re: gvfs-mount and nautilus can't mount internal HDD

I found out that unplugging and reconnecting the drives doesn't help. It was just a coincidence.
However I can mount the partitions via the gnome disk utility.
