KDE mount Daemon error each time I plug in a device

nikosapi · #1 25th April 2006, 11:01 PM

I just started using nfs on my home media/storage server in my home, I have several hard disks in it and am sharing several directories (5 to be exact) using nfs.
On the client side (running FC5, with the latest updates) I am able to painlessly mount all the nfs shares, but as soon as I plug in an iPod or a camera (or put in a data-cd) I get the following error (from kde):

Code:

mount: 192.168.0.101:/mnt/nfs/Games already mounted or /home/nikosapi/nfs/Games busy
mount: according to mtab, 192.168.0.101:/mnt/nfs/Games is already mounted on /home/nikosapi/nfs/Games

I have no idea what could be causing this, can someone help?

This is my fstab:

Code:

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0

192.168.0.101:/mnt/nfs/Music    /home/nikosapi/nfs/Music        nfs     ro,hard,intr,user,async,auto    0       0
192.168.0.101:/mnt/nfs/Other    /home/nikosapi/nfs/Other        nfs     rw,suid,hard,intr,user,async,auto    0       0
192.168.0.101:/mnt/nfs/Software    /home/nikosapi/nfs/Software        nfs     ro,hard,intr,user,async,auto    0       0
192.168.0.101:/mnt/nfs/Video    /home/nikosapi/nfs/Video        nfs     ro,hard,intr,user,async,auto    0       0

And this is the output of mount:

Code:

thanks in advance.

P.S. I am able to mount all the external media by right clicking on their icons and selecting "mount" after clicking "ok" on the error message.

Not sure what it is myself but here are a few ideas.
1. leave out the hard and intr options
2. change the auto option to noauto and then in /etc/rc.local file add the mount command lines there.
3. do the first part of option 2 but not the rc.local part. Then add icons to the desktop for the network mount links and when needed to click on them to mount them.

Neat, it works, kinda...
I tried all 3 options and the only one that worked is number 2.
Whenever I plug in any kind of media it seems to try and run the first of the 5 mount commands from fstab, the minute I unmount all the nfs shares, comment out all 5 mount commands from fstab, remount all the nfs shares one mount at a time (ex. mount -t nfs 192.168.0.101:/mnt/nfs/Software /home/nikosapi/nfs/Software -o ro,hard,intr,user,async
) THEN I can plug in my iPod and it works!!! (I've since added the mount commands to /etc/rc.local)
It would be nice to be able to have the mount commands in /etc/fstab so it's easier to mount and unmount the shares, but if this is the only way I'll have to live with it.

thanks!

Glad to be of help. Never seen that before except if one uses the managed option which is more trouble than it is worth.

Are you using KDE or Gnome. In KDE you can create drive icons on the desktop by right click on the desktop and select Create New > Link to Device > NFS. Then under General give it a name you want then under Device select the line that matches what mount point you defined in fstab. Then you can right click on the icon and select umount.

No ideas under Gnome since not a big fan of it.

Sadly that won't work because it still requires me to add a mount line to /etc/fstab which just recreates my original problem because even if the share is unmounted when I plug in a device it attempts to mount my first listed nfs share.
Odd eh?

thank you very much,

No idea why it would if the auto option is noauto. Only thought it might be kudzu as the issue. Kudzu is a tool that helps detect new hardware and auto config it to work. Try as root the command to turn of kudzu ' service kudzu stop '. If this helps and don't seem to need it then to stop it from startup is to issue this command as root ' chkconfig --level 345 kudzu off '.

Nope, same error.
If someone is using nfs could you try reproducing the error?

thanks again,

Tried using many of your options and could not reproduce your issue. I have no other ideas.
