I think I've discovered my unison problem. I've been trying to sync files with a USB drive. In their wisdom, the KDE4 people moved the location of where to find USB Media between 12.2 and 12.3 in OpenSuse.
On 12.2 the default policy was to mount external drives in /media, and on 12.3

[reply] [-] Description Aekold Helbrass 2013-03-17 08:08:48 UTC
User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; en) Presto/2.10.289
Version/12.00
OpenSUSE 12.2 mounts external storages in /media/LABEL.
OpenSUSE 12.3 changed this policy to mount everything in user-specific folders
in /var/run/USERNAME.
This change makes impossible to have user home folder on external storage,
symlinked to /home.
udisks2 has special udev flag to make it configurable, UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED
(
http://udisks.freedesktop.org/docs/latest/udisks.8.html), but it appeared in
version 2.0.91 and is not supported in 2.0.0 version, included with OpenSUSE
12.3.
Please update udisks2 version to current version.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add a rule line to your udev configuration:
ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto", ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1",
ATTR{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1", ATTRS{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1"
2. insert external storage device
3. see the mount point of device
Actual Results:
device is mounted in user-specific folder in /var/run
Expected Results:
as per documentation (and backward compatibility) device is expected to be
mounted in /media folder.

Could you test updated package that includes support for
UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED.

This is enough, other assignments do not do anything. Also make sure it is the
last rule (name it 99-something).
[reply] [-] Comment 2 Aekold Helbrass 2013-03-18 11:50:48 UTC
Ok, here's what I've done:
1. forked Factory udisks2, updated to version 2.1.0 (build services)
2. installed into my system.
3. checked if yast2 can see that version is 2.1.0.
4. changed the rule as suggested, renamed it from 71 to 99.
5. restarted the system.
6. mounted USB storage from KDE.
Result: it is still mounted into /var/run/media instead of /media.
Is there anything wrong with what I've done? udisks source code clearly checks
for that flag with g_udev_device_get_property_as_boolean method, but I cannot
hack deep enough to check if that method reads from
ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED} or that property should be set in some other
manner...
[reply] [-] Comment 3 Andrey Borzenkov 2013-03-18 12:23:16 UTC
Is UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED present in device properties?
udevadm info --query all --name sda1
or whatever name your partition has.

> Nope.
Did you reboot after adding rule? Alternatively "udevadm control --reload"
should be enough too.
This rule definitely works for me.
[reply] [-] Comment 6 Aekold Helbrass 2013-03-18 20:50:59 UTC
Yes, it works! Thanx.
The problem was this: I copied my local rules from 70-kpartx.rules and left the
same checks on top (see below), and that was a bad idea. Tell me please, does
leaving anything of those makes any sense, or simple single line will be fine?

i tried the packages from
obs://build.opensuse.org/home:arvidjaar:bnc:809837/standard.
an they work!
without the packages from your repo it did not work!
thanks!
it was annoying to have lost the feature of mounting external drives in /media!
this fix (incl. the required rule with the UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED switch)
should go into the update-repo.
i think nearly every user want's it that way.

OK, I'll submit maintenance update.

No. Providing better configuration possibility is one thing, changing
distribution wide default policy is another. You are welcome to discuss it on
factory list if you think it is required.
@maintenance team: please review SR 160482. The patch is already in factory as
part of udisks2 2.1.0.

on 12.2 the default policy was to mount external drives in /media, and on 12.3
it is different.
so, the distribution wide default policy has already been changed.
this fix/change would only revert/correct this to the distribution wide default
policy it was.
anyway, i am happy that i am able now to correct this on my own to the old
behaviour, even if it will not be default now.
> factory list if you think it is required.
i will.

it depends whether udisks or udisks2 were used. On 12.2 KDE used udisks(1) and
GNOME used udisks2 so KDE mounted under /media and GNOME under
/run/media/<user>

[reply] [-] Comment 17 Greg Freemyer 2013-04-01 19:49:08 UTC
For clarity, something like this is still needed by the user to manually
perform:
sudo echo 'ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto",
ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1"' >
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-correct-media-mount-point.rules
udevadm control --reload
Make sure the echo command is all on one line.
Also, the user should verify they don't already have a file
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-correct-media-mount-point.rules

I do not understand why the mount point depend on the used window manager at
all. Now we have random mount points and non-root users can't set what they
want.
For me it happend that I got a media mounted in /var/run/user allthough I was
working on kde3 (udisks-1). Probably because I had also some kde4 or gnome
stuff running. So it's a race where it will be mounted. Introducing this random
mount points was a bug which should be fixed.
BTW I find it really confusing to have udisks 1 and 2 running in parallel by
default. As if the automounting wouldn't be complicated enough ...
