Old mountpoints are no longer removed

[Janek]

Since some updates of my Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy beta installation old mountpoints of automounted USB UMS devices are no longer deleted. That's not the same as described in #119633, because it has nothing todo with the charsets in the device name. It's the same with SD cards, external hard disks or USB sticks. It does not work to set a static mountpoint with user rights in the "Rightclick/Preferences" menu of the devices so it can be only bypassed by manually adding the drives to the fstab (Not tested but should work).

I have my music library on my external drive and setted the static path to it in Rhythmbox with the enabled watching option - now I'm unable to really use my library in Rhythmbox...

Would be nice to see this fixed.

I can confirm this. No odd characters in the devicename and still it leaves mountpoints behind after unmounting.

Janek, my 'manual fix' is to as root delete the problematic mount point. Then as a normal user, in nautilus, rightclick and unmount, then mount. For me this gets my rhythmox library in the right place. Of course I have to do this every time I restart so a fix would be very welcome.

fluteflute, thank you but I'm doing this already.
I think the problem could be something with the dir-rights. After reboot the old (still existing) mount point is owned by root and the group is the group of the mounting user.

One thing I can confirm: Remounting from Nautilus works fine.

Same problem here.
At every reboot my device has a "_" in the end of his mountpoint.

I unmount the external disk each time before I shutdown the system. When I startup the external disk mounts to the correct mount point. This works as a temporary fix.

I just rebooted and this appears to have been fixed. Can anyone confirm?

[Ciso (cisoprogressivo)]

Ok, now it work also for me ;)

Confirm this fix after tonight update.

Confirmed that this fix worked.

Cheers!
