/media moved to /run/media after upgrade to gnome 3.4?

jose1711 · 2012-04-23 16:01:31

hello,

anyone else noticed that /media moved to /run/media after an external disk is mounted in gnome 3.4? any idea how to get the old behaviour?

thank you,

jose

Seems like this is the default since udisks2 and the plan is to get rid of /media eventually. If it really bothers you that much, I guess you will have to create a symlink.

Over here it even uses /run/media/$username...

God.

Here too.... oh well, just a quick adjustment to my backup scripts....

After running pacman -Syu this morning, my partitions (when mounting them via nautilus) are now mounting to /run/media/(username here). I've been told that this is because of udisks2 in GNOME 3.4. Is there a way to revert this behavior and have disks mount to /media again? Google isn't helping me at all.

Thanks.

EDIT: Never mind. Just saw this thread. Sorry for cluttering up this board with an extra thread.

is there a way to change it in apps/nautilus/preferences -> media-automount?

But perhaps there are configs.
Try to type in "ls -a ~" to show hidden folders on your user space

Why do you want to automount in /media ?
Are there any problems with mounting in /run/media/username

Just that it breaks paths pointing to a lot of files on my external drive.

arriagga · 2012-04-24 19:42:38

now there is no safe eject or eject option on usb, is there any way I can have it again.

thanks

For those who are interested, I've made a quick fix for the issue - http://paste.lisp.org/display/129168, apply to udisks2.

For some time I don't follow what is going on in linux development. I just use my desktop. Today after update I realise that my samba shared external usb hdd (symlinked in home dir) is not reachable. When I checked mounting points I was suprised discovering /run directorium where external hdd was mounted. There are some other files inside run dir:
clamav
ConsoleKit
cron.reboot
dbus
initramfs
media
pm-utils
sshd.pid
syslog-ng.pid
udisks
utmp
console
crond.pid
daemons
dbus.pid
lock
mount
samba
syslog-ng.ctl
udev
udisks2
wicd
What is going on here? Is /media obsolete now since I still have it in /? Some tips for further reading would be nice. Thanx.

/run/media/(stick-or-usb or-partition-name)
is true, in xfce+thunar+gvfs+udisks+udisks2 happen too

I not sure why but this is not FSF-standard

My google search term was: mount media in "/run/media"

It seems to be an udisks2 "feature", as a first step in getting rid of /media.

but why are they getting rid of /media, what is the purpose.

debdj · 2012-04-29 18:05:37

If thats becoming the default its pretty absurd.
If in my case, I'll simply have the drives mounted in /media through /etc/fstab.

Jristz · 2012-04-29 21:22:47

thunar no recognice the new path and not show in grapical mode the disk that are mounted in boot
in the older show them, but now only sdhow, unmonted and external disks

not chance to simlink /run/media to/from /media or /mnt???

Jristz · 2012-04-29 21:24:53

maybe a simlink can solve inconsistent/not compatible/no workin filemanagers/scripts/others

Bellum · 2012-04-29 21:31:20

Wha? Why they doing that?

ok, symlink /media and /run/media not work how I spkt

246827 4,0K lrwxrwxrwx   1 root    root    10 abr 29 20:06 media -> /run/media/

why: the /run is /run/media/$USERNAME/$DEVICE but all media is /media/$DEVICE
in other words the problem is the $USERNAME...

Why would you want the old behaviour back in the first place? Should make no difference if you're using nautilus. This is just the new standard, not a 'problem'.

since: backward-compatibility, i'm borred, and I like test thiks that noone want test XD

but for the other sice this show that for now almos in nautilus and thunar 1.2.0 is "safe" remove /media (almost at my tests)

While I understand the additional step via the username, I don't understand, why it should be in /run. I don't even find /run in the FHS. Not that I really mind, I… googled for a second and read "/run" close to "systemd" all the time. Now I know why, they want systemd as the new quasi-standard, so it's a natural development. *shrug*

Another reason may be because /run is tmpfs, so you can mount stuff to /run/media even if you have a read-only root. That's also wh systemd currently mounts /media as tmpfs (which will be dropped with the next release because of the /run change).

Ulf · 2012-05-01 17:53:41

I am really fond of my media directory...why does it need to be in a tmpfs system? It worked nice until this weekend. Seems it doesn't work as planned (yet) reading all the threads of people having mounting issues. I came across this nice post:
