Hello all,
I've installed openSUSE 42.2 and so upgraded to TDE 14.0.4 (previously I
couldn't on my old 13.1, something broke so I stayed at 14.0.0).
I don't know which of the two is responsible, but now, when I plug in an
external drive, it gets mounted twice. On my desktop I see the drive itself,
and the partition. For example, when I plug in my 16GB mac formated usb key,
I get both "14.8 GB removable device", mounted on /deb/sdg,
and "macUSBDrive", mounted on /dev/sdg1.
Of course the former throws an error if I try to open it.
This is not so bad and I can live with it, but I wonder where this is
distribution specific, machine specific or if you all see this too.
Regards,
Thierry

This happened to me as well, on drives where I had written a DVD .iso
image. The DVD image would still mount, even though there was nothing
there, after I repartitioned and reformatted.
I used "wipefs" on the device to clean out the old file system tags.
All of them. Then repartition, reformat, and only the active partition
showed up.
Maybe some experimentation would allow for a "wipefs" command that
only wiped the "macUSBdrive" tags, but I didn't spend that much time
on it.

Thanks, that's a trail I can follow. I have afew older sticks I could use for
testing- I'll report if I find something.

Better to get two mount attempts than none. :-p
I just tried inserting a "16GB" USB stick on a 42.2/14.0.4 system, host g5eas,
and got no notification of any kind, though dmesg certainly shows it, and
scsi_dh_alua module is loaded. But, booted to TW/Plasma, same dmesg, and no
device notification there either. 42.1/14.0.4 on same host likewise malfunctions.
I tried a different 42.2/14.0.4 host gx745, also with TW/Plasma, with same
failing result on both. :-(
I tried a third 42.2/14.0.4 host big31, also with TW/KDE3, with same failing
result on both. Same failure on it too booting Stretch/14.0.5pre. :-(
A 4th host gx780 tried only with 42.2 and KDE3 also fails to notify or mount,
with dmesg similar to 2nd attachment. Booted to Jessie running bpo 4.8.11 and
14.0.4 likewise produces no notification, but at least fdisk found it. I updated
Jessie, including bpo 4.9.2, and there's still no notification, plus dmesg is
loaded with i915 driver segfaults.
Hosts gx745 and big31 booted to openSUSE 42.1/KDE3 pop up a device notification
as expected. :-p
All four machines have Intel CPU/chipsets, with video Intel gx745 & gx780 (both
Dell), Radeon big31 (Biostar) and Geforce g5eas (Gigabyte).

My dmesg looks like yours, except there is no "reset device" line at the end
like in your first log and it's a lot less verbose than you second.
Mounting seems OK. There is a line with "[ 9459.301768] sdg: sdg1".
My "problem" is that TDE Desktop shows both sdg and sdg1. I don't know why.

Felix,
What are the kernel versions there. AFAIR it is kernel (usb) -> udev ->
dbus. Do you have systemd enabled? I think this information could help not
only in your case but also in the case of Thierry.
On my debian tde 14.1 with kernel 4.9 all works fine.
regards
