Howdy, Given my other thread, you know the history of this. I was going to try to use Device Notifier, (DN), to mount a encrypted external hard drive. As some know, it didn't work well. That tool isn't made for that it seems. So, I'm doing it manually. That's fine. Now I have a new problem. When I was trying to mount the encrypted drive, it created a new path. The new path is /run/media/private/ and then user name, name of drive etc etc etc. Normally it uses this path, /run/media/dale/ and then name of drive etc. Since I tried to mount the encrypted drive, it now wants to mount everything under the path with private in it. Since I have a little script that does my backups, it throws that off big time. It's trying to copy to the wrong place since this is mounting in the wrong place. This will also mess up other things as well. I have a lot of things I plug in to download pics and such. Deer trail cameras to say the least.
I tried deleting the private directory. I was hoping it would not recreate it and would default back to the old one. It didn't work. It recreated the private path and mounted it there even tho it is not encrypted. Also, even tho it is set not to, it mounts automatically. I have DN set to NOT automount anything. Sometimes I plug things in because I want to format it or do other things. Sometimes I want to mount it manually so it mounts somewhere else. Automounting is not something I want. Just for giggles, I turned automount on, saved it, then turned it back off and saved it. It still automounts, to the wrong location no less. Someone mentioned that DN uses udisks. I took a peek at the config file in /etc and it hasn't changed. No mention of private path either. I then tried to find anything udisks in /home, nothing there either. I can't figure out where this option got set to remove it or even a config file I can delete completely and it start fresh, hopefully the old way. I'm not sure how to get the old behavior back at this point. Does anyone know where this thing is set? I'd be fine deleting a file and letting it start fresh if needed. I still wish I could find a easier way to mount the encypted drive but right now, I want to get the old way back for normal devices I plug in and use DN to mount. Ideas? Thoughts? Dale :-) :-)
