[Bug 504113] [NEW] gnome-volume-manager delays mounting USB devices during heavy I/O

[Rocko]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

To reproduce:

1. Insert a (slow) usb key and let g-v-m automount it.

2. Start copying a large file to this usb key, eg 700 MB.

3. While the copy is underway, insert another USB key.

g-v-m either mounts the second usb key when the file copy finishes, or
doesn't mount it at all.

The attached syslog shows the latter event (ie the second USB never gets
mounted - it didn't even appear in nautilus's Places sidebar to let me
manually mount it). It also shows /bin/sync being blocked, which might
be relevant.

This happens in Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10. I'm using the 2.6.32.2 kernel, but
it also happens with the stock 2.6.31 kernel.
