media-automount-generator is not automounting drive

I made a fresh install of Bazzite and my freshly formatted drive appears to not auto mount. The drive has only one partition which is formatted as btrfs.

this is interesting cases, the issue is at boot the generator only found the nvme drives as seen here

asen23•3d ago

but if you trigger daemon-reload, the generator will find the other device that is initially not included

asen23•3d ago

below the red line is when you trigger the daemon-reload

asen23•3d ago

the generated mount unit arent active so it still doesnt work

asen23•3d ago

@Zeglius any idea what causes this? i think there is some race condition https://paste.centos.org/view/029e77cd the full logs

somewhat the storage devices arent detected the moment the generator runs

asen23•3d ago

The weird part is even nvme0 aren't even detected initially

Zeglius•3d ago

I had someone with an nvme, and they got it detected By any chance is there any LVM/LUKS related with these partitions?

shouldn't be I only used the defaults for installing Bazzite only other OS on here is Windows 11

Zeglius•3d ago

okay, turn off the pc, turn on again and run this in the terminal

systemd-analyze dot     "*.device" local-fs.target | dot -Tpng > systemd.png; wl-copy < systemd.png

systemd-analyze dot     "*.device" local-fs.target | dot -Tpng > systemd.png; wl-copy < systemd.png

This will put a graph image into your clipboard, paste it here

Zeglius•3d ago

Something kinda like this

Zeglius•3d ago

After that run the sudo systemctl daemon-reload and run the command above again and paste here

NeilOP•3d ago

bash: dot: command not found

Zeglius•3d ago

oh god forgot, brew install graphviz and try again

NeilOP•3d ago

Before reload

NeilOP•3d ago

After Reload

mm okay no clue maybe lsblk for some reason is not detecting the devices. What we can do is try with the next release of the generator and see if works

cd $(mktemp -d) && \
    curl -fsSLo - https://github.com/Zeglius/media-automount-generator/archive/refs/tags/v0.2.4.tar.gz | \
        tar -xz --strip-components=1 && \
    sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local ./install.sh

cd $(mktemp -d) && \
    curl -fsSLo - https://github.com/Zeglius/media-automount-generator/archive/refs/tags/v0.2.4.tar.gz | \
        tar -xz --strip-components=1 && \
    sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local ./install.sh

try running that, and reboot

NeilOP•3d ago

./install.sh: line 1: +#!/bin/bash: No such file or directory typo in the install script?

Zeglius•3d ago

aaaa it seems yeah

NeilOP•3d ago

edit it out are rerun?

Zeglius•3d ago

ye well actually simply run sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local ./install.sh after editing it

NeilOP•3d ago

ok done that didnt work

Zeglius•3d ago

pfff no clue then, need to look into that. For now run this to uninstall and after do the manual steps in the docs

cd $(mktemp -d) && \
    curl -fsSLo - https://github.com/Zeglius/media-automount-generator/archive/refs/tags/v0.2.5.tar.gz | \
        tar -xz --strip-components=1 && \
    sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local ./install.sh uninstall

cd $(mktemp -d) && \
    curl -fsSLo - https://github.com/Zeglius/media-automount-generator/archive/refs/tags/v0.2.5.tar.gz | \
        tar -xz --strip-components=1 && \
    sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local ./install.sh uninstall

rm: cannot remove '/usr/local/lib/systemd/system-generators/media-automount-generator': Is a directory

Zeglius•3d ago

what

Zeglius•3d ago

NeilOP•3d ago

file /usr/local/lib/systemd/system-generators/media-automount-generator output: /usr/local/lib/systemd/system-generators/media-automount-generator: directory

Zeglius•3d ago

okay so sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/systemd/system-generators/media-automount-generator /usr/local/lib/media-automount.d/ should do it

NeilOP•3d ago
