Description Martin Pitt 2006-08-22 12:45:17 UTC 
From https://launchpad.net/bugs/50554:

Currently if you plug in a removable device it is mounted and shown on all users desktops, even though only the user who plugged it in can access the device. This bug is even worse if you work in a big multiuser environment like a ltsp setup with many thin clients and users, in the case 50 users plug in 50 devices on 50 thin clients you end up having 50 icons on the desktop (imagine a user who didnt even plug in *any* device but wants to do his work sitting in front of such a desktop :) )

I fixed this in Ubuntu, I'll attach the rather trivial patch for it.

Ubuntu patch

libgnomevfs/{gnome-vfs-hal-mounts.c,gnome-vfs-volume-monitor-daemon.c}:
Do not create volumes for mount points which are inaccessible by the
user.

This patch probably suffers from the same problems as described in the gio-counterpart in bug 526320.
Comment 3 Martin Pitt 2010-01-19 23:16:36 UTC 
gnome-vfs is dead, so closing this.
