Public bug reported:
I have a USB hard disk (NTFS format, named Omikron) and an iPod (VFAT,
named iripod).
When I plug them in, an entry like /media/Omikron or /media/IRIPOD is
created. If I cleanly unmount the drives, this entry under /media is
erased, and the next time I plug the device in, it is regenerated with
the same name. Even if I yank the USB cable, the device is unmounted and
this entry is erased and reused the next time.
However, there are occasions when the entry under /media is not erased,
and it is not reused the next time the device is plugged in or the
system is booted with the device already plugged in. In these occasions,
another entry is added with an underscore tagged to the end. I don't
know exactly when does this happen, but over time they accumulate and
when I noticed I had
/media/Omikron
/media/Omikron_
/media/Omikron__
/media/Omikron___
/media/Omikron____
/media/IRIPOD
/media/IRIPOD_
/media/IRIPOD__
and so on.
I imagine this happens when an unclean unmount is not detected for some
reason, or for some reason the drive cannot be unmounted at shutdown,
but I have so far been unable to knowingly force that to happen and have
only observed its results a few days after manually erasing the
offending entries under /media.
If I flick the on/off switch on the USB hard disk, /media/Omikron is erased,
and the next time I plug the device in, it is regenerated with the same name.
