I tell you how I have used the automount. I have an Opensuse appliance which runs a Java application. I have hidden all OS functions and exposing only Java Application. Within the application, user needs to copy a iReport output to a pendrive. So, he clicks on the auto-mount point provided, pendrive is mounted, he saves in the folder and closes the report. Now in 11.4, as the unmount is set for 10 secs, before the user realises, the pendrive is unmounted and the user can safely remove the pendrive. But in 12.1, the pendrive remains mounted, the user cannot safely remove the pendrive. We have checked that even 10 minutes after the file-writing is over, in 12.1 unmounting never occurs. As the writing by the Jasperviewer to pendrive is one-time event, I do not see even in the new logic (>2.39 kernels) why un-mounting should not occur unless automount kernel module is misbehaving. But I will confirm to you by this weekend after I simulate it. ( We are in festival holidays in India). I also think the new behaviour may be undesirable. In old-time Linux, if a mounted CD was not explicitly un-mounted, CD drive would not be released. Now, in dolphin, even as the CD is listed, I click on the CD, ask for release, it will be unmounted and released. The new behaviour of automounter looks to me like the old behaviour of Linux w.r.t CD. If there is an inactive file handle lying around, it seems to not un-mount. But that would be so unlike auto-mounter. I remember using auto-mounter to un-mount the floppy drive after a certain amount of idle time, so that I do not see stale data when I quickly remove floppy and insert a new floppy. That was around 2004-2005. I think the new auto-mount would fail me in that use case. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
