Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager
For drives that are auto-mounted via gnome-volume-manager (such as USB
HDDs), when the system is shut down, the mount point is not deleted.
This is clear through the following (frustrating) example:
After boot, I plug in my USB HDD. It is mounted to /media/LABEL. Now I shut
down. The mount point (/media/LABEL) still persists as a folder.
When I boot up again, and plug in the USBHDD, it is now mounted to
/media/LABEL_ (note the underscore).
This behavior wreaks havoc with automated backups, as they continue to
backup to /media/LABEL, thus flooding /.
Please make gnome-volume-manager responsibly delete all the mountpoints
that it creates, on shutdown. Note that simply running rm /media/*
isn't a good solution, since I have other persistent folders in there
that I use.
Thanks! Have a great day!
