Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30007
Affects: gnome-volume-manager (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
I have an external USB floppy drive which I can mount in three ways:
1) pmount /dev/sda /media/floppy
2) sudo mount /dev/sda /media/floppy [after creating the directory]
3) [double-click on it in Nautilus]
...but regardless of how I mount it, it takes a REALLY long time to
mount, and then when I double-click on it again in Nautilus (it won't
actually open it the first time I double-click it) it gives me this
error:
Unable to mount the selected volume.
The error messages in details reveal:
Error: device /dev/sda is already mounted to /media/floppy
Error: could not execute pmount
Regardless of how I mount it, I can read the files in the console, but
not in the file manager, unless I navigate through the filesystem to the
mount point. Double-clicking it in the "Computer" view just produces
the above error.
It really seems to be oblivious to the fact that the volume is already
mounted.
