Package: hal Version: 0.5.7-1 Severity: normal I have an autofs mount for my USB key, so that it gets mounted on /mnt/auto/removable/usb-key when accessed. autofs has an expiry time of 30 seconds, which means the key is automatically unmounted after 30 seconds of non-usage. Unfortunately, it seems hal catches this unmount event and does stuff with it, which I wouldn't argue against, except it tries to access /mnt/auto/removable/usb-key/.created-by-hal. Which triggers autofs, which in turn mounts /mnt/auto/removable/usb-key again. So the key is unmounted and automatically remounted every 30 seconds if I don't use it, which means I can't unplug it cleanly.
For some reason, this behaviour only appears for the USB key and the (USB mass storage) digital camera, but not for the CD-ROM. USB key has an ext3 filesystem on it, camera has vfat. Killing hald fixes the problem (the automounts get to properly expire). Restarting it restarts the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-k7 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.85 Add and remove users and groups ii dbus 0.61-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libc6 2.3.6-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdbus-1-2 0.61-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.61-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3.2 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal1 0.5.7-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-2 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.0-16 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii pciutils 1:2.1.11-16 Linux PCI Utilities ii udev 0.089-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.71+cvs20051029-5 USB console utilities hal recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
