udisks --dump for working card.

Description of problem:

I'm using an ExpressCard(PCIe)->CF adapter that uses a JMicron JM386 controller.  With one card it correctly identifies as a removable, non-system drive.  With another card, udisk identifies the card as a non-removable, system-internal drive and prompts the user for a password when attempting to mount it.

I can change the default permissions to allow this without a password, but that would allow true system drives to be unmounted by unprivileged users.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

udisks-1.0.2-4.fc15.x86_64
kernel-2.6.40.3-0.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:   100% 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Insert CF<->ExpressCard adapter
2.  Drive should automount.
  
Actual results:

Does not automount with one CF card, but does with another.

Expected results:

Should automount with both cards.

Additional info:

The "working" card in this case is an old 256MB CF card that doesn't support UDMA.  The "non-working" card is a modern 16GB UDMA-enabled card that also supports SMART.  When I use either card in a USB CF reader both function as expected.

I don't know if this is a kernel or udisks problem.  I plan on digging into udisks to figure out where it makes the "System-internal" and "removeable" distinction, but clearly something's wrong here.

Added the dump from the non-working card.

Comment 2 David Zeuthen 2011-08-29 19:09:51 UTC
I don't think there's any way to detect this is a CF card - from what I can tell, you can't really tell it apart from a hard disk using the ATA command-set. Please attach the output of 'hdparm -I /dev/sdb' and 'udevadm info -q all -n /dev/sdb'. Thanks.

Comment 3 David Zeuthen 2011-08-29 19:45:42 UTC
Actually please also attach

 udevadm info -q all -n /dev/sdb --attribute-walk

Maybe we can whitelist the controller in question.

Comment 7 Solomon Peachy 2011-08-30 00:55:12 UTC
What confuses me is that one CF card is detected as non-system_internal, but not the others that I have.  That tells me that the heuristic that makes that determination is somehow broken.

I've previously filed bugs against the kernel relating to this ExpressCard adapter ("SIIG ExpressCard54 CF R/W") but the pata_jmicron driver has no way of detecting that this particular model is different from any others, given that they all share the same PCI [sub]vendor/model ID, so I also have to play games with the pata layer to force "short40c" cables so that I can even use UDMA speeds.

So I don't think we're going to be able to whitelist that adapter somehow.

It's not broken - the reason is that one card is reporting the sysfs removable attribute as 1, the other as 0. That's why you are seeing this. Why is the kernel driver doing this? I don't know - it's most probably just reporting what the hardware is telling it so the driver is probably fine.

The way to resolve this is to look at the ATA IDENTIFY data and make udev's ata_id export a property, say, ID_COMPACT_FLASH and then make udisks set system-internal to FALSE if this is set (this is possible because the IDENTIFY data has a bit for this - that's why I asked for hdparm -I output). I'll start working on the ata_id patch...

Comment 10 Solomon Peachy 2011-08-30 13:32:45 UTC
I'd noticed that 'removable' flag in the dumps, but hadn't had time to hunt down where it was being set.  Since you say that's sysfs attribute, fingers point to a kernel bug.  So I started digging into the kernel source.

The removable flag is set based on bit7 in the second byte of the SCSI identify response, which in turn is generated based on bit7 of the first byte of the ATA Identify response.

Hdparm blindly ignores that bit if the compact_flash bit is set -- so I patched that test out, and lo and behold, the "working" CF card has the "removable" flag set, but the "non-working" cards don't.  Interesting.  I wonder if the ATA/CF spec implies removable if the CFA bits are set?

kernel patch to force 'removable' flag if device identifies as compactflash

I'm not sure how well this kernel patch will go over; would it be better to workaround this problem in userspace (eg udev?)

Comment 12 Solomon Peachy 2011-08-30 14:21:40 UTC
The plot thickens; apaprently the "Removable Media" feature set has been obsoleted in newer versions of the ATA specification, which explains why my newer CF cards don't have it set.

(That implies that setting the 'removable' attribute in the kernel is probably the wrong thing to do)

It looks like udev/udisks is where this fix should be implemented after all...

Yes, that's what I meant with 7 - if the ATA IDENTIFY data indicates the ATA device is a compact flash device, then don't tag it as system_internal.

Since I don't have the hardware in question, any chance you can attach the IDENTIFY data as captured with hdparm's --Istdout option? Thanks!

Tweak to the first patch to make it work.

I don't immediately see why this patch is even necessary, but it may have something to do with this build warning:

  CC     extras/ata_id/ata_id.o

OK, here's an updated patch - I'm 99% it's right but would be great to test it nonetheless. Thanks!

Comment 19 Solomon Peachy 2011-09-01 17:50:37 UTC
Looks good; the build warning's gone and all of my CF cards are identified properly with ID_ATA_CFA=1.

Comment 20 David Zeuthen 2011-09-01 19:18:09 UTC
Excellent, thanks for testing - as master.kernel.org is currently down (cf. the recent security breach) I can't push it. But I sent it to the udev maintainer and it's now in his tree and will be part of udev 174.

Comment 21 Solomon Peachy 2011-09-01 20:46:23 UTC
Yay, one bug down.  That said, udisks still needs to be modified, correct?

Comment 22 David Zeuthen 2011-09-01 21:03:48 UTC
Indeed. Any chance you can try the following udev rule?

ENV{ID_ATA_CFA}=="?*", ENV{ID_DRIVE_FLASH_CF}="1", ENV{ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLASH_CF}="1", ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL}="0"

Thanks!

(See also http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/udisks/udisks.7.html for other udev properties affecting how udisks work)

Comment 23 David Zeuthen 2011-09-01 21:04:22 UTC
Actually, I guess, use

 ENV{ID_ATA_CFA}=="1"

instead of

 ENV{ID_ATA_CFA}=="?*"

Comment 24 David Zeuthen 2011-09-19 14:57:55 UTC
Solomon: any chance you can try the rules in comment 22 and comment 23? Thanks!

Comment 25 Solomon Peachy 2011-10-05 00:43:15 UTC
I put off testing this due to kernel.org being down, preventing me from pulling the udev sources again.   (I'd managed to nuke my udev tree)

So I'm going to rebuild the udev-167-6 srpm that F15 is using (with that patch) add that rule, and get back to you.

Comment 26 Solomon Peachy 2011-10-05 01:06:18 UTC
Okay, with the rule in comment 23, my new-sk00l CF cards act the same way as the old ones -- They're no longer being treated as system_internal and I can mount them without being prompted for the root password.

None of cards aren't being auto-mounted still though, but I suppose that's specified elsewhere.

Comment 27 Solomon Peachy 2011-10-05 01:30:25 UTC
I added ENV{UDISKS_AUTOMOUNT_HINT}="always" to the rule in comment 23, but the system is ignoring the hint.  (without that explicit rule, there's no hint at all according to udisks --show-info)

Any pointers on where to go to enable automounting?

Comment 28 Jim Cromie 2012-02-13 20:58:44 UTC
Is upgrade of udev to 174 scheduled for F-16 ?
Its currently at 173, so we're close.
If not, will it be in F-17 ?

Im having trouble getting a working image of voyage onto my CF,
and am hoping this fix will resolve my issues.

FWIW, when I try to "safely unmount drive" in Nautilus,
it appears to flush all the writes to the CF
(a dialog box briefly appears, but closes before I can
read the entire message), but the boot fails early in
the grub-boot, without error messages, and does a bios reboot.

Im getting further afield here (sorry), but running sync
before "safely unmounting" doesnt help.

thanks

Comment 29 Solomon Peachy 2012-06-03 02:55:14 UTC
I'm happy to report that F17 JustWorks(tm), and I can finally use my ExpressCard CF reader without jumping through any extra hoops.

Comment 30 Jim Cromie 2012-06-13 05:24:54 UTC
for me it "mostly works".  It is automounting CF when I plug it in,
unmounting when I click eject (and popups a "writing to CF" notification),
and successfully remounting when I yank and reinsert the CF (that remount
is the critical improvement).

But my trouble is with writing a Voyage image to the CF:
I use the usr/local/sbin/voyage.update script thats in the distro,
but it complains when the disk is already mounted, so I unmount
it manually:  
1st I tried this using eject button, but that caused /dev/sdc1 to
disappear, which the script needs in order to do its own mount.
2nd try, I did sudo umount /mnt/cf before running script, and
everything seemed to go smoothly, but I cannot cleanly eject the CF,
it doesnt show up under Places, MyComputer, and manual umount 
fails as follows:

[jimc@groucho voyage-current]$ sudo umount /mnt/cf
umount: /mnt/cf: target is busy.
        (In some cases useful info about processes that use
         the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))

[jimc@groucho voyage-current]$ sudo fuser -auvim /mnt/cf
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/mnt/cf:             root     kernel mount (root)/mnt/cf

[jimc@groucho voyage-current]$ sudo lsof | grep /mnt/cf
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /run/user/jimc/gvfs
      Output information may be incomplete.

/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/cf type ext2 (rw,relatime,seclabel)


Can I get some advice ?

The eject button in GNOME causes "eject /dev/sdc" to be run (as root) which causes the partition to disappear. This is expected (it's what ejecting means).

Just run 'umount /dev/sdc1' yourself from a terminal if you only want to unmount the device.

This is also expected, GNOME will only show mounts in /media, /run/media/$USER or $HOME (and /mnt/cf is not one of those).
