I found a patch fixing double partitions issue for thunar. I created the pkgbuild . You can get it from my github (see my sig).
I have tested it on 3 of my systems running archlinux 64 bit and it works fine . Please have a look and let me know if you have any problem regarding pkgbuild.
Thanks, will try it and report back.
P.S. I believe that you have bad source url (you have [...]/1.3/Thunar-${pkgver}.tar.bz2 and it should probably be [...]/1.4/Thunar-${pkgver}.tar.bz2).

Sorry ..
changed..

Same problem as MatejLach's, and also I can't mount any of my internal partitions: it's always "Not authorized to perform operation." (however is works by using udisksctl).
Here is my /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-storage-group-mount-override.pkla:
[storage group mount override]
Identity=unix-group:storage
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes
I have both udisks and udisks2, but I can't remove udisks, because kdelibs depends on it.
[user@box ~]$ pactree -r udisks
|--udisks
|--kdelibs
|--kactivities
|--kdebase-runtime
|--kdbg
|--kdebase-kdialog
|--kdeedu-kstars
|--kdesdk-okteta
|--kdeutils-filelight
|--nepomuk-core
|--kdebase-runtime
What should I (we) do?

The .pkla file in /etc/polkit-1/ has been of no effect now. I find need to modify this file : /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy.
Find the unit <action id="org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system"> and modify the line "<allow_active>auth_admin</allow_active>" in it, "auth_admin" should be changed to "yes".

The problem fixed in Thunar. In PCManFM it still exists.

lampslave · 2012-11-03 09:48:54

Problem with mount can be fixed by adding

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
		if (action.id.indexOf("org.freedesktop.udisks2.") == 0 && subject.isInGroup("storage")) {
			return polkit.Result.YES;
		}
	}
);

in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-my.rules

I can confirm this is fixed in the latest Thunar version.

MatejLach can you change the thread name a bit to indicate double mounting? Many member created duplicate thread, probably because they don't know this Thread already exists

Done.
Hopefully it's OK, but I am open to suggestions.

Here is the reopened bug report for pcmanfm https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=d … tid=801864

That is handled differently in libfm. And that in thunar was not fix really
but rather a workaround over gvfs bug. And I still believe gvfs bug should
be fixed in gvfs but we have no chance to have it fixed with all the GNOME
attitude. And it's why glib/gtk applications are so slow - each application
implements bunch of workarounds for glib/gtk bugs and GNOME people refuse
to fix them but rather remove features when they went buggy too much
(nautilus 3.6 is just an example). I don't have gvfs 0.14 installed
anywhere to test it so I cannot add a workaround into libfm for now,
sorry.
Thank you very much.

@ubuntubang - Added to the original post for easy reference.

OK so now they updated Thunar and it's fixed there but I'm still seeing doubles on my desktop (XFCE) Also, not as big of a deal but it's not showing my Windows System Reserved partition. I never need to mount it so it's whatever if they changed the default to not show partitions <= 100MB or whatever they did. I can still mount it manually via the command line if I need to.

Remove the icon from desktop (change it to minimised pallication) and changed it back. It remove the duplicate in desktop for me.

I had done that actually and it works but the duplicates still come back next time you restart.

min · 2012-11-03 21:25:10

The same as the Thunar trick earlier. I need to test my sugestion after have restarted next time

This should be put into a seperate thread as this is an answer that fixes auto-mounting problems, but I am unsure if it has anything to do with double-mounting. I was having problems with auto-mounting a camera for Thunar, and following these directions fixed the problem.

Edit: my mistake it wasn't automounting, only giving me user permission to mount by clicking on the icon.

kangtian, is hacking /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy is the only way to solve the mounting issue? And is it the right way?

However, the problem with doubled icons is solved for me by just updating to latest xfdesktop (4.10.0-4) now.

i've noticed that the double icons in the desktop disapear by runing:

 xfdesktop --reload

so i execute that command on every startup...

also i've read that downgrading polkit works (didn't try it yet), but remember to recompile it with:

 --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/usr/lib/systemd/system

this is the source (post 5 & 8 are the relevant ones):

sorry for the english...
