Title:
  In muti-user environment, USB media mounted to random user

Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gvfs

  Problem:

  When multiple users are logged in, and the console user plugs in an
  external USB drive, GNOME randomly selects a user to automount the
  drive on, instead of the console user. In multi-partition drives,
  different partitions are mounted to different users. The console user
  receives a dialog box with error in the style of "/dev/sdf3 is busy"
  whenever a partition is mounted to a non-console user.

  Expected behavior:

  The system should either mount the partition read/write to all users,
  or should mount the partition only to the console user. It should not
  mount partitions to random users on an exclusive basis.

  Reproducible: 100%
