duplicate external hdd "mounted" icon remains on desktop when volume is removed.

changed the description

Interestingly, if I remove the fstab entry (see above) for this external hdd, then the drive is mounted at /run/media/user/archive and only one icon shows up and the icon is correctly removed when removing the device. It seems the fstab entry is causing issue with xfdesktop 4.20 but I'm not sure how. (Or is it something else gvfs ? udisks ? Let me know how I can get more information to find the cause)

I just tried again with previous xfce (4.18) & xfdesktop (xfdesktop 4.18.1) and it works fine with same fstab entry. (Only one icon, correctly deleted when device is removed)

It looks like gvfs was the issue here. Since "x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=" is used in the fstab entry.

Gentoo (stable) uses gvfs-1.52.3, after compiling the current "testing" version in gentoo tree (1.56.1), I can't reproduce the issue anymore.

With this gvfs version, only one icon shows up on the desktop and is correctly deleted when device is removed. Same behaviour as before.

Hm, interesting. So I'm not sure if there's anything I should try to do here? But if it works properly with gvfs-1.52.3 and xfdesktop-4.18.x, then I'd prefer it also works with xfdesktop-4.20.x, without you having to update gvfs to a new version.

Regardless, though, it'll be difficult for me to repro this, as I'm on gvfs-1.56.1, which presumably won't show this issue. (Debian here, so trying out various versions isn't really feasible for me.)

Hello, I made other tests with gvfs-1.52.3 & xfdesktop 4.20.

It turns out the issue only happens with btrfs with "subvol=" present on the fstab entry. When I tried initially without the fstab entry for this external hdd, it worked since no "subvol=" was used obviously.

I tried with a usb key and an external hdd. With a single ext4 partition, no problem. With a single partition btrfs and no subvolume, no problem.

Same thing if LUKS is used.

In all tests "x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=" was used in fstab as well.

Works

UUID=1e286b81-b26f-4cc1-a992-28a9d35b95fc /mnt/usb btrfs defaults,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=USBKEY 0 0

Fails

UUID=1e286b81-b26f-4cc1-a992-28a9d35b95fc /mnt/usb btrfs defaults,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=USBKEY,subvol=usbsub 0 0

With btrfs + subvol, it creates a duplicate icon. And icon is not deleted when device is removed.

Otherwise, the subvolume is correctly mounted; mount returns

/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/usb type btrfs (rw,relatime,space_cache=v2,subvolid=256,subvol=/usbsub,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=USBKEY)

With gvfs-1.56.1 and the same entry, this doesn't happen. Hopefully it narrows down the issue a little bit.

What is the purpose of the subvol option?

Out of curiosity, do you have the same issue in Thunar?

With btrfs, I use subvolumes to be able to easily make snapshot and backup, instead of multiple partition.

So I have one btrfs partition filling the whole device and then I create a bunch of subvolumes, so "subvol=" option is used in fstab options to select which subvolume I want to mount.

Otherwise yes indeed the issue is present with thunar, it creates also a double entry (with a twist, see below) when I click the "USBKEY" label to mount it. With the same example above:

UUID=1e286b81-b26f-4cc1-a992-28a9d35b95fc /mnt/usb btrfs defaults,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=USBKEY,subvol=usbsub 0 0

One entry is labeled "USBKEY" (according to x-gvfs-name=USBKEY ) but the other is "usb" (I guess according to mountpoint /mnt/usb )

Both are accessible, with the correct subvol used (according to fstab), very strange.

Finally, when I remove the device, it is correctly removed from thunar left panel (both entries "USBKEY" and "usb") but "mounted" usb icon remains on desktop.

Gotcha, thanks for all the details. I don't have time right now, but I'll try to repro this myself at some point.
