Comment 6 for bug 476654

Hm, so I can't actually reproduce this. I tried this for ten times, and it always works. udisks says:

and the mount is gone. Originally I thought that udisks would just lack a code path for not handling forced unmounts of devices where just the media disappears (like CD-ROMs) instead of the entire device (like USB sticks).

Does this work with USB sticks for you? I. e. do you get mounts cleaned up if you just yank them out without proper unmounting/ejecting? (Please be careful, this could cause data corruption; please at least run "sync" before you do that).

To get some better logs from your system, please do the following:

 * Ensure that there is no CD-ROM inside, and no stale mount.

 * Open a Terminal and do

    udevadm monitor -e --udev > /tmp/udev.log 2>&1 &
    sudo /usr/lib/udisks/udisks-daemon --replace > /tmp/udisks.log 2>&1

 * Insert a CD, and wait until it gets automounted (You'll get the icon on the desktop)

  * Eject it using the drive button, wait a couple of seconds, and ensure that you get a stale mount.

Press Control-C, then run "fg", press Control-C again (to stop both monitors), and attach /tmp/udev.log and /tmp/udisks.log here.

Thanks!
