Mount DVD - Error connecting to the udisks daemon: Timeout was reached

bohokash · 2021-11-06 20:35:27

Inserted DVD disk isn't mounted automatically any more. Same with USB hard disk. This happens time to time, and I in this case I should reboot the laptop to be able to use the disks again.

After eximining the problem, and running "udisksctl status" I found:

Error connecting to the udisks daemon: Timeout was reached

Also gnome-disks utility can't be started, which has an ability to mount disks by clicking on buttons, gives an error:

(gnome-disks:51764): GNOME-Disks-ERROR **: 21:24:55.138: Error getting udisks client: Timeout was reached
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Further examining by "journalctl -b 0 -u udisks2.service" I found such errors in the log:

Nov 06 17:47:05 acerswift1 udisksd[4746]: Error performing initial housekeeping for drive /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/TOSHIBA_DT01ACA100_Z710AP7FS: Error updating SMART data: sk_disk_smart_read_data: Operation not supported (udisks-error-quark, 0)

And there are many of this particular error

What can be the problem? Somehow I should restart udisks daemon?

loginctl session-status

?

Reg. the other stuff you posted: smart errors on optical devices should™ be meaningless since they won't support S.M.A.R.T. and as the DVD is most likely not NTFS but UDF, those errors will not be (directly) related either.
Please post a complete system journal covering issues to mount the disc ("sudo journalctl -b" for the present boot, "… -b -1" for the previous one etcetc.)

After "sudo systemctl restart udisks2.service" the problem has been solved.

The NTFS and SMART errors comes from the USB hard disk.

That doesn't explain why it was blocked though. Might have been the IO errors on the USB drive, but that's pure speculation.

I can see only such messages repeating in the journalctl log, related to the hard disk, by its identifier:

Error updating SMART data: Error opening device file /dev/sdb while getting PM state

TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 looks like a sata drive, is that your usb disk? Do you use a sata=>usb adapter and is it a jmicron one?
