Hi, the bug described at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=135337 also applies to gentoo. this is with gnome-vfs-2.8.3-r1, gamin-0.0.19 instead of fam, hal-0.4.2 and happens on x86 and ppc CDs work without problems Bye
btw... it works the same way with fam instead of gamin so maybe it's a bug in gamin or a bug in gnome-vfs which only shows up with gamin...
the bug you reference to should be solved in gnome-vfs-2.8.3 it could still be notification, do you use an inotify enabled kernel ? (you should always provide your emerge info in bugreports!)
it isn't solved in 2.8.3 for me... I'm using gamin over the inotify kernel interface With fam (using simple polls) everything works as expected here's emerge info, but I don't think you can do sth usefull with it... it's from the x86 box: Portage 2.0.51-r8 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.9-gentoo-r10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r10 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2600+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.8 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4 [2.3.4 (#1, Oct 14 2004, 02:13:12)] distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disable d] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r2, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.7.9, 1.9.3 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -mfpmath=sse,387 -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -O3 -fomit-f rame-pointer -fprefetch-loop-arrays -fforce-addr -fmerge-all-constants -ftracer -funit-at-a-time -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/s hare/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dv ipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config / /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -mfpmath=sse,387 -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -O3 -fomit -frame-pointer -fprefetch-loop-arrays -fforce-addr -fmerge-all-constants -ftrace r -funit-at-a-time -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo http://ftp.belnet. be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://www.ibiblio.o rg/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X Xaw3d aac aalib accessibility acpi alsa audiofile avi berkdb bitmap -fonts bonobo bzlib caps cddb cdr chroot crypt curl devmap dga dnd dv dvd encode ethereal expat ext-png ext-zlib f77 faad fam ffmpeg fftw flac flash foomaticdb fortran freetype gcj gd gd-external gdbm gif gmp gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gt khtml guile hal imagemagick imap imlib imlib2 jack java javascript jpeg junit la dcca lcms ldap libg++ libgda libsamplerate libwww live lzw-tiff mad matroska mbo x md5sum mmap mmx mng monkey motif mozilla moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mozp3 p mpeg mpeg4 mpi mplayer native ncurses nls nocardbus nptl nptlonly objc oggvorb is openal opengl oss pam parse-clocks pcre pdflib perl pic png pthreads python q uicktime radeon readline real ruby samba sasl sdl slang sndfile sox speex spell sse ssl svg szip t1lib tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff transcode truetype type1 uni code usb userlocales vim-with-x wmf wxwindows x86 xgetdefault xinerama xml xml2 xprint xrandr xv xvid yv12 zlib"
This bug also affects me. FWIW this bug was not present in GNOME 2.8.0 but appeared after upgrading to stable 2.8.1. I'm using gamin with the inotify backend.

what i'd like to see is testing with a newer inotify version before further looking into this, this should be in 2.6.10 when it hits the streets.
it's the same with gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.10-r1 (which include the newest inotify version)
well, then we go to manual labor. run hal in debugging mode, see if it detects the adds & removes of the stick. run gvm in a terminal to see what it picks up and how it handles it.
Can confirm this problem here with latest gnome / gamin / hal / kernel 2.6.10 + inotify on ~x86 @foser: Everything gets picked up correctly by hal, the device (in this case a memstick) even gets mounted correctly by gnome-volume-manager: manager.c/711: New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_usb_device_5dc_80_1_-1_B228472003050_0 libhal.c 911 : Error sending msg: No property info.capabilities on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_usb_device_5dc_80_1_-1_B228472003050_0 libhal.c 911 : Error sending msg: No property info.capabilities on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_usb_device_5dc_80_1_-1_B228472003050_0 manager.c/711: New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/scsi_host_3 manager.c/711: New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/scsi_3_0_0_0 libhal.c 911 : Error sending msg: No property info.capabilities on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/scsi_3_0_0_0 libhal.c 911 : Error sending msg: No property info.capabilities on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/scsi_3_0_0_0 manager.c/711: New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_8_0 manager.c/711: New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_18AF-B893 manager.c/747: Changed: /dev/sda1 manager.c/691: Added: /dev/sda1 manager.c/826: Mounted: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_18AF-B893 Just the corresponding icon is not displayed, neither on the desktop nor in the computer:/// view. As pointed out in the red hat bug report it works correctly once, but does not if you try again.
Just a bit more of information: After killing the /usr/libexec/gam_server process it works again (for one time). Also unfortunately gamin-0.0.20 does not seem to solve that problem :(
i cannot test this here right now I'm afraid. Check and see if it's the original referenced problem where mtab gets updated too fast and doesn't show in gnome-vfs/gamin (you can run gamin in debug mode, check it's docs/homepage).
This bug still exists with GNOME 2.10, gamin 0.0.20 and kernel 2.6.10-gentoo-r6
'me too's' are not interesting, just CC if you are on of them. Answering my questions is.
*** Bug 85179 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Based on what I read here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gamin-list/2005-March/msg00017.html I changed the ebuild to disable the inotify backend and enable the dnotify backend: econf \ --enable-dnotify \ --disable-inotify \ `use_enable debug` \ `use_enable debug debug-api` \ || die Everything works fine now (except media still won't eject when I physically press the eject button on the drive, but I think that's a different bug).
Foser, I tried quick to add some g_warnings in places, but it really looks as if /etc/{fstab,mtab} is not monitored (monitors are added, but changes not seen), or I have a illusion about what g_warning do. I also checked if the monitors added fails, but that is not the case. I guess we, John (that originally did the inotify backend) or somebody else should really look into updating the backend to use poll as well, like the dnotify one does ... not sure if it will help, but .... ? For those that still struggle with this issue, this is what I started to do a while back already: ---- nosferatu gnome-vfs-2.10.0 # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/45-usbfd.rules BUS="usb", KERNEL="ub[a-z]*", NAME="usbfd%n" nosferatu gnome-vfs-2.10.0 # grep usbfd /etc/fstab #/dev/sdd1 /mnt/usbfd auto noauto,user 0 0 /dev/usbfd1 /mnt/usbfd vfat noauto,user 0 0 nosferatu gnome-vfs-2.10.0 # ---- Basically I use the ub driver, so any flash I put in gets assigned the /dev/usbfd1 node, and with the static entry in fstab, I can then just click on the drive already added (I dont normally get it to automount, as that is irritating).
Urk, forget the last bit I said - used to rename sd? to usbfd when still using the usb-storage driver.
I have the same problem (gnome-2.10, inotify-0.20, gamin-0.0.26). Is this not caused by the default polling of /mnt and /media? see: http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/config.html
Tried it here, but no sigar - anybody else tried it? ----- $ cat .gaminrc notify /mnt/* /media/*
PS: I can see why it might be an issue - the inotify backend still cannot use polling as well (as the dnotify one can) ...
My theory still is that it has nothing todo with the polling of /mnt or /media, but that updates to {fs,m}tab do not get noticed by gnome-vfs.
There is a patch in Gnome Bugzilla which solves that problem for me: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171201 This has also been applied upstream now and will be in the next release of gamin
I can confirm that the CVS version (20050412) of Gamin solves this problem :) I'm using Gnome 2.10 and inotify-0.21.
The final patch posted in the gnome bug can't be backported easily. Should we do a CVS snapshot?
Need some testers for the CVS snapshot idea. Please leave feedback at: http://www.reactivated.net/weblog/archives/2005/05/sorting-out-gamin-brokenness-testers-needed/
there are known problems in current gamin CVS, please check this gnome bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171201
Seem's to work fine in ~amd64 (gnome-2.10) and gamin-0.1.1 released the 10 of june. Need to be tested on other platforms. Please update the ebuild tree ?
gamin 0.1.1 is now in portage, and has an inotify fix applied on top of that. Please post here if issues still exist when running against gentoo-sources-2.6.12
I haven't done stress testing but gamin-0.1.1 plus gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r1 seems to fix the issue so far.
gamin 0.1.1 and a repatched 2.6.11-r11 gentoo kernel works fine.
Can confirm that newer works fine.
