Binary package hint: devicekit-disks

When starting a GNOME session without dk-disks running already, gvfs D-BUS activates dk-disks, which causes an automount attempt on internal hard disks. This doesn't happen if dk-disks is already running.

I suspect it's due to dk-disks sending out "new volume" events during coldplugging.

Reproducer:

  ps ux|grep gvfs|awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill
  gvfs-mount -l

This does not trigger automounting. However, if this spawns dk-disks it happens:

  sudo killall devkit-disks-daemon
  ps ux|grep gvfs|awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill
  gvfs-mount -l
