This kind of "new behavior" which breaks everythink that was carefully
configured before, annoys me as well. ("it's not a bug, it's a feature")I'm using several applications (unison in particular) on external drives, and for them when I made my user configurations I made references to /media/<label>, not /run/media/<username>/<label>, not to /media/<username>/<label> (like Debian did) It's especially annoying for tools such as Unison which have a database of all changes made on disks, and can't refer to the correct names because it was arbitrary changed, so you must forget all the previous history and build a new one, which is long and tedious for huge external drives. Come on, who is ever using a Linux Desktop for several users, AND at the same time needs security so they can plug different usb keys or external drives simultaneously? In more than 99% of the cases, it won't be necessary, and in the rare cases it could be necessary (multiseat), this kind of behavior could be set as an option, for example in a damn /etc/udisks2.conf On the other hand, if security was such an issue, /media/<username>/<label> could still have been kept, but the permissions for the folder could have been set in r/w only for the one who had inserted the key. After all, it doesn't prevent security to have /home/user1 and /home/user2 under the same folder. For my part I could "fix" this by installing udisks (v1) and removing udisks2 and all its dependencies (including gnome, mate etc). If you feel you really need to make a fondamental behavior change in a product, please use opt-in instead, and make an option to enable the new behavior, instead of the opposite. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020759 Title: /run/media is an unnecessary divergence from the FHS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udisks/+bug/1020759/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
