Ok, I'm glad the next version sorts it out.

I am the active user but the ownership of the media I inserted in my session was from one of the non-active users. > Still one issue though, which should be reported as a separate bug: > user 1 logs in > user 1 inserts a removable media which is automounted > user 2 logs in > user 1 logs out > user 2 is not able to unmount the removable media > That one is also an issue. But with me I also get this one: if the owner logs out and I return to my session and then insert the media, the owner can again be the one who is not logged in anymore. I have pretty much experienced all these scenarios which made me think I was doing something wrong. But since Windows don't act this way it's probably not me but the OS - at least that was my perspective of thinking (regardless of the potential argument that Windows does this wrong). > I think that when a user logs out, the ownership of the removable media > should be passed to another logged in user (problem is to know which > user should get this ownership!) Or the media should rather be auto-unmounted and left there un-owned until some other user chooses to mount it (via GUI not the commandline). If you take your variant then you'll have to make a criteria which of the let's say 5 still logged in user should get the ownership and what happens if the original owner returns and wants its media back. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
