[Bug 1078445] Re: Xubuntu install fail due partition auto mount defeats Gparted

[Curtis Gedak]

In the past I tried "which udisks2-inhibit" to find the location of the
command, but this always returned no results.  I didn't dig any deeper
because I regularly use Kubuntu and Ubuntu and the problem with
automounting does not occur.

Today I started my Ubuntu 14.04 Virtual Machine and ran the following
command:

  find / -name udisks2-inhibit -print 2>/dev/null

which returned the following result:

  /usr/lib/udisks2/udisks2-inhibit

It seams that this command is in a non-standard location which explains
why it didn't show up when using the "which" command.

When using Ubuntu 14.04, I have never encountered the problem with
automounting of newly created or edited partitions, and I do a lot of
testing using Ubuntu and Kubuntu.  This make me think the problem might
be unique to Xubuntu and perhaps XFCE.

To determine if udisks2-inhibit works on Xubuntu, would you be able to
test gparted by using the following command line invocation?

  sudo /usr/lib/udisks2/udisks2-inhibit /usr/sbin/gpartedbin

Title:
  Xubuntu install fail due partition auto mount defeats Gparted

Status in Thunar Volume Manager:
  Confirmed
Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “thunar” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Wanted to install Xbuntu 12.10 along side Win 7 and Ubuntu 12.10.
  Needed to create 4 further partitions (boot,swap,/ and home) in a pre-
  exsisting extended partition. Booted from a Xubuntu 12.10 Live CD on
  my HP Envy Sleekbook and ran up Gparted.

  What I expected to happen:
  I expected to be able to shrink a 230gig partition and create 4 additional partitions. To my surprise the extended partition was already mounted when I selected unmount partition in Gparted, Gparted completed the action but then Xubuntu remounted it automatically and opened a filemanager window for every other partition as well.

  What happened instead:
   I found I could not unmount any partition without it being automatically remounted.

  Installed Xbuntu 12.10 on my Desktop (clean install from a CD). Using
  Gparted I cannot unmount a spare partition without Xubuntu
  automatically remounting it.

  The Automount feature needs an operator control to allow use of
  Gparted.
