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?
Kate
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?
Cheers
Michele
Hi Michele,
Yes I did all that.
I don't know what happened but because I was going to resintall anyway, I did
so and the problem is gone. Everything works normally. I did read some where
having the same problem randomly pop up. Maybe a random bug?
Just in case it pops up for someone else, I have udisks2-2.1.6-1pclos2016
installed.
Thanks for the input and sanity checks.
Kate
