Hi people (and others)
Ok so in order to mount an add on devices like ext HD, I need to run multipath -F to clear mount points. Otherwise it says the mount point is busy.
So here's how it goes. I have hotswap bays installed. If take out one drive and insert and other I get the typical msg
Unable to mount this device. Potential reasons include: Improper device and/or user privilege level Corrupt data on storage device Technical details: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error mounting /dev/sdj1 at /media/Preview1: Command-line `mount -t "jfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sdj1" "/media/Preview1"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: /mnt/Preview1: /dev/sdj1 already mounted or mount point busy.
Then, as root, I run multipath -F and all it good. It just started doing this, this morning?
Anything I should look for?

Hi Kate, it seems udisks2 has issues with that. Apologies for the stupid questions.
1) Did you correctly unmount (and possible ejected - not sure what is required for hot swappable disks) the disk first, before removing it? 2) Did you verify the path is no longer used after step 1?
