[Bug 85424] Re: Unmount fails every time
I just reproduced this bug in Hardy WITHOUT a suspend/resume cycle, using hal version 0.5.10-5ubuntu7. The contents of .hal-mtab were: /dev/sdf1 10000 vfat nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,exec,usefree /media/ATHENA /dev/sdg1 10000 vfat nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,exec,usefree /media/ATHENA The second entry is the correct one for ATHENA. I had just unmounted another drive (not ATHENA) mounted on /dev/sdf1 and it complained that it could not remove the directory. I guess it tried to remove the (invalid) /dev/sdf1 entry for ATHENA and failed. -- Unmount fails every time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85424 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 85424] Re: Unmount fails every time
I still get this problem in Gutsy after a suspend/resume cycle. It appears that if the drives mount as a different device after resume (which can happen if you have more than one USB drive attached), /media /.hal-mtab contains two entries for the same drive after the resume. Eg if a drive used to be /dev/sdf1 and after resume it is /dev/sdg1, both entries then appear are in .hal-mtab, and if you try to to unmount the drive, it complains it can't remove the directory, and neither entry in .hal-mtab is deleted. If there were already two entries in the file when you resume and the drive mounts as a different device again, you get three entries, etc. This 'cannot unmount drive' behaviour persists indefinitely until you manually delete .hal-mtab. If you then suspend/resume it can reappear. -- Unmount fails every time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85424 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 85424] Re: Unmount fails every time
Well, as described above removing the file /media/.hal-mtab does fix it. But why is it there in first place and doesn't get deleted in Gutsy? -- Unmount fails every time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85424 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 85424] Re: Unmount fails every time
@Tim: I'm not the right person to answer this but I'm sure .hal-mtab is important because it lets HAL know what devices are currently mounted. It sounds like the file itself is not the problem but, rather, something is propagating .hal-mtab with repetitive lines. When the device then gets unmounted, only one of these lines gets removed from .hal-mtab. The device successfully unmounts but HAL sees the device as still mounted in .hal-mtab and hence throws an error. That's just my guess. I could be wrong but the file should be there in Gutsy and as far as I can tell, the problem is fixed in Gutsy. Is it possible you upgraded from Feisty and the .hal-mtab that was causing problems was created by Feisty? Do you ever experience this bug again after fixing(removing) .hal-mtab? -- Unmount fails every time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85424 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The fix does not solve the issue for me. This is still occuring. I didn't even see this bug until after I tried deleting the hal files in my rc.local file at every bootup.

This actually needs to be added to /etc/init.d/mountall-bootclean.sh, not hal's dbus init script.

Somehow .hal-mtab was filled with a bunch of /dev/sdb2 /media/IPOD lines -- mine had like 8 of those lines in it. I am willing to bet that these were what caused the error.
