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?
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.

No worries. In case it happens again, it would be worth trying to debug the problem using a tool like d-feet, which let's you execute udisks2 calls directly. The point would be to understand if it was a udisks2 related problem/bug, or the result of some missing actions when removing the disk. In the first case, there isn't much we can do, in the second we may need to add more actions/code in TDE to handle hot swappable disks.
Cheers Michele

Agreed. It was working for over 15 months no problems. something must have happened or I did something. Should it happen again. We shall trace it.
Cheers,
