It is also very strange that a user running mount command can not mount those partitions while the desktop system makes it possible.
How can this behavior be changed so that normal could not mount other partitions?
I would like to report this as a bug, how can I?
I just tried to unmount /boot and I got following error
Technical details: org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Failed: Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: umount: /boot: umount failed: Operation not permitted
According mount nouser is within default options, so if you, as normal user, are able to unmount such a device, you should look into the groups or even dbus settings (org.freedesktop.UDisks) to trace the problem on your system.
I don't think TDE is able to act as super user in any sense unless you have configured something on your system. So far I have not found such an option in TDE. Look deeper.
OK, I tried TDE in openSUSE 13.2. In 13.2 I can not mount other volumes, TDE gives error message:
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.NotAuthorizedCanObtain: Not authorized to perform operation
There is a difference between 13.2 and Leap 42.2.
What program does TDE use for mounting volumes? I would like to know where to search for the differences.
Thanks,
