Description Brian Morrison 2009-09-23 15:54:11 UTC
I have noticed that my main Fedora 11 machine is failing to mount USB disks when inserted, and have tracked it down to the devkit-disks-daemon not running.

It seems that this crash happens at various times, including at start up of the desktop.

Manually starting /usr/libexec/devkit-disks/daemon eventually results in this error:

**** Refreshing ATA SMART data for /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-4/2-4:1.0/host8/target8:0:0/8:0:0:0/block/sdb

All the F11 packages on this machine are up to date, but for reference the relevant package versions are:

DeviceKit-disks-004-4.fc11.x86_64
DeviceKit-003-1.x86_64
udev-141-7.fc11.x86_64

Comment 9 Brian Morrison 2009-09-23 21:57:34 UTC
After disconnecting the external USB disk I can get the devkit-disks-daemon to run without crashing.

However, simply restarting the daemon does not allow a USB flash disk to mount.

The daemon outputs this to the console on inserting the disk: 

**** ADDING /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/host10/target10:0:0/10:0:0:0/block/sdb

The daemon monitor shows this:

Is there something else that should be set up for the automount to work, or is the problem that the daemon needs to be started by the desktop and not independently of it?

Comment 10 Brian Morrison 2009-09-23 22:27:43 UTC
A restart of the machine has now got USB flash drive automount working (and probably automounting of other sorts of disks too).

So the problem seems to be something in the SMART features of the Seagate FreeDesktop 500GB external USB disk. It is currently disconnected until a fix turns up.

Hope the info above is enough to find what the problem is.

Comment 11 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 10:32:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 14:47:09 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
