At boot, the kernel synthesises an event as if a device transitions
from unplugged to plugged.

So any program that misses this ... sounds buggy.

Oh, I thought you had identified it as a problem.

I had it on good advice that mounts are not reestablished on restart.  It
makes sense as there is no physical event of plugging in the device.

But because of your comment I just rebooted and the mount was in fact
reestablished, so looks like it is not in fact a problem.

My gut feel is that means there is something wrong with the
automounting; it can't tell the difference between devices that appear
before it starts, and those that appear after it starts.

Using blkid feels wrong.  blkid is at a higher level; based on a
library libblkid that works with what the kernel provides.

The order of discovery can be unpredictable, so what is /dev/sdb with
media left connected can be different to what it is when media is not
left connected.

Try to script using the symbolic links created in /dev/disk/by-path
which connect back to /dev/sdb, that way the discovery order is
irrelevant.

what about using udevadm trigger?

When a usb drive is inserted into the server it is mounted (hopefully).  If
the server is restarted that mount disappears even if the device is still
attached.

 

I started down the road of remounting any drives that were automounted for
shared content.

 

Now I am wondering if at startup I should mount anything returned by blkid
that is not already mounted.  (I don't want to alter fstab.)

 

Also, what are the chances that a device that was /dev/sdb1 for example will
still be so on restart?

what is the source of these ids in xsce.ini and how do they differ from each
other:

Re: [Server-devel] [XSCE] Re: Docker

[Pierre Ozoux]

Choose an app from this list:
https://github.com/indiehosters

And I'll start an instance on scaleway (arm cloud provider). I'll show
how easy it is :)

About ansible, I thought the same at the beginning, but, in fact look at
the number of official images now:
https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/tree/master/library

For whatever application, now, you almost just need `docker run wordpress`
