[Bug 792085] Re: Automatic remount of safely removed drive

[Lucas Malor]

Daniel Richard G. from Bug #507309 : usb-creator has a strange quirk in
that when it starts up, it (re)mounts all unmounted partitions on all
connected USB drives---even those drives on which the "Safely remove
drive" operation has been performed, but are still plugged into the USB
bus. This is with icons and everything on the desktop; this is clearly
some sort of interaction with udev, similar to what occurs when a USB
drive is plugged in.

I am filing this report to request that this "mount everything" behavior
be removed. It is inappropriate for usb-creator to do this, not least
because it may then go on to perform destructive operations on some of
these newly-mounted filesystems!

Title:
  Automatic remount of safely removed drive

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  When I choose "Safely remove drive" context menu entry for an external
  USB drive within a nautilus window or directly clicking on the desktop
  icon, after about 10 seconds the drive is automatically remounted and
  a Nautilus window showing the root folder opens.

  I have noticed that similar already happened with a very old Ubuntu
  version - Bug #110589 and as that is so long time ago I thought it is
  better to open a new bug. Reason of the problem might even be
  completely different.
