Description of problem: When I mount and unmount a USB stick I get lots of odd messages from automount, plus an SELinux denial. I don't believe that any of the automount messages are useful. I include the relevant portion of /usr/log/messages below. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 9, completely up to date as of 30 May 2008 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug in USB stick, look in /var/log/messages 2. Unmount USB stick from desktop, look in /var/log/messages 3. Actual results: Lots of messages in /var/log/messages Expected results: Many fewer messages.

I also had this problem with a Corsair USB flash drive with F9 and F10A+. The same drive works on FC6. Seems to be fixed with: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.27-0.290.rc5.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Thu Aug 28 21:44:53 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux. Test hardware is IBM NetVista desktop.
If this is still a problem can you include the output of the sealert command as indicated in the /var/log/messages file when you have this trouble?
I think that the problem is resolved - at least I haven't seen it for a while.
I'm going to try to close this bug, as it doesn't appear to be currently happening. I expect that some change in F10 or F11 has fixed it.
