I think I found and fixed the issue (for now?). It turned out to be the
/etc/passwd and /etc/group incosistency. According to the original /etc/passwd
file I had :
grep messa /etc/{passwd~,group}
/etc/passwd:messagebus:x:103:109::/var/run/dbus:/bin/false
/etc/group:messagebus:x:106:
The gid 109 actually maps to the ssh group, so I edited /etc/passwd to match
/etc/group and now have :
grep messa /etc/{passwd,group}
/etc/passwd:messagebus:x:103:106::/var/run/dbus:/bin/false
/etc/group:messagebus:x:106:
After restarting the dbus service my media now automount
The question is how did it happen? Are there any other inconsistencies? I did
run pwck and grpck and fixed a couple, however there were quite a few warnings
about non-existing dirs:
sudo pwck
