Rocko (rockorequin) wrote : gnome-volume-manager delays mounting USB devices during heavy I/O

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

To reproduce:

1. Mount a (slow) usb key.

2. Start copy a large file to the usb key, eg 700 MB.

3. Insert another USB key.

g-v-m either mounts the second usb key when the file copy finishes, or doesn't mount it at all.

The attached syslog shows the latter event (ie the second USB never gets mounted - it didn't even appear in nautilus's Places sidebar to let me manually mount it). It also shows /bin/sync being blocked, which might be relevant.

This happens in Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10. I'm using the 2.6.32.2 kernel, but it also happens with the stock 2.6.31 kernel.
