Howdy, |

Given my other thread, you know the history of this. I was going to try |
| 4 |
to use Device Notifier, (DN), to mount a encrypted external hard drive. |
| 5 |
As some know, it didn't work well. That tool isn't made for that it |
| 6 |
seems. So, I'm doing it manually. That's fine. Now I have a new |
| 7 |
problem. When I was trying to mount the encrypted drive, it created a |
| 8 |
new path. The new path is /run/media/private/ and then user name, name |
| 9 |
of drive etc etc etc. Normally it uses this path, /run/media/dale/ and |
| 10 |
then name of drive etc. Since I tried to mount the encrypted drive, it |
| 11 |
now wants to mount everything under the path with private in it. Since |
| 12 |
I have a little script that does my backups, it throws that off big |
| 13 |
time. It's trying to copy to the wrong place since this is mounting in |
| 14 |
the wrong place. This will also mess up other things as well. I have a |
| 15 |
lot of things I plug in to download pics and such. Deer trail cameras |
| 16 |
to say the least. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I tried deleting the private directory. I was hoping it would not |
| 19 |
recreate it and would default back to the old one. It didn't work. It |
| 20 |
recreated the private path and mounted it there even tho it is not |
| 21 |
encrypted. Also, even tho it is set not to, it mounts automatically. I |
| 22 |
have DN set to NOT automount anything. Sometimes I plug things in |
| 23 |
because I want to format it or do other things. Sometimes I want to |
| 24 |
mount it manually so it mounts somewhere else. Automounting is not |
| 25 |
something I want. Just for giggles, I turned automount on, saved it, |
| 26 |
then turned it back off and saved it. It still automounts, to the wrong |
| 27 |
location no less. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Someone mentioned that DN uses udisks. I took a peek at the config file |
| 30 |
in /etc and it hasn't changed. No mention of private path either. I |
| 31 |
then tried to find anything udisks in /home, nothing there either. I |
| 32 |
can't figure out where this option got set to remove it or even a config |
| 33 |
file I can delete completely and it start fresh, hopefully the old way. |
| 34 |
I'm not sure how to get the old behavior back at this point. Does |
| 35 |
anyone know where this thing is set? I'd be fine deleting a file and |
| 36 |
letting it start fresh if needed. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I still wish I could find a easier way to mount the encypted drive but |
| 39 |
right now, I want to get the old way back for normal devices I plug in |
| 40 |
and use DN to mount. |

Ideas? Thoughts? |
