Bug 133980

Could you _attach_ the output of 'lshal' with inserted smart-card?

Output of lshal

please remove the line from you fstab. The entries in fstab are ignored for hotplugable media, we mount them automatically.

please do this:
* change line in /etc/init.d/haldaemon:
  from: HALDAEMON_PARA="--daemon=yes --retain-privileges";
  to:   HALDAEMON_PARA="--daemon=yes --retain-privileges --verbose=yes";

* remove the smartcard
* restart hal: 'rchal restart'
* insert the smartcard (and if needed the USB-reader)
* wait 20 seconds and add the part of /var/log/messages since hal restart.

If I insert a cd-rw and want to open it in "my computer" I get this message:
mount: Konnte /dev/hdb nicht in /etc/fstab oder /etc/mtab finden
(mount: can't find /dev/hdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab)
But this only since I installed the new version of hal. Before I hadn't any problems. But I need this version, because otherwise I can't open dvds. I doesn't know whether it has to do with my card or hasn't. But this problem is always and my smart-media card is sometimes mounted sometimes not.

Please start udevmonitor and add the smartcard to the already (before start udevmonitor) connected reader and paste the output to the bug.

In this case the media was mounted as /dev/sdd1. Or wasn't it? For me the events tell me the hal mount was successfull, looks like automatically mounted with subfs. Could you call cat /proc/mounts ? Is there a mount for /dev/sdd1 ?

If it wasn't mounted, please attach whole output of lshal with the smartcard inserted.

If I insert my card after Linux is booted it is always mounted the right way. But if the card is inside the card reader while Linux is booting it is booted as sda1 and only root can access the card.

There is no difference between the both cases in the way we mount. Only to clarify: you can only access the media as root, if the card was in the reader while boot? Can you access the media on console?

If the media was in the drive while boot are there all the time two mounts for the device in mounts (one subfs and one vfat)?

Yes there are all the time two mounts for the device and I can only access the media as root. With console it's the same. I only can see what is on the card but I have no authority to create anything.

I don't know what's going wrong here. Could you call 'lsof | grep MOUNTPOINT'? Replace MOUNTPOINT with the related mount or with 'media'. Looks as if a root process access maybe the device and submountd can't umount and remount for you.

Okay, if this work now for you with 10.1, I close this as WONTFIX for 10.0 

Closed.
