AusterIssues with auto-mounting on Linux Mint 22.x?
Probably a highly specific issue, but in a hardware with one physical memory for the #LinuxMint system, two for miscellaneous data physically attached to the motherboard and auto-mounted through Disks, and ten or so data USB devices attached most through an USB hub, some times at boot one of the media devices attached to the motherboard isn't auto-mounted, EFI taking its place as the auto-mounted folder.
Also, way more rarely, some times one of the USB devices at the USB hub isn't recognized even by KDE's Dolphin, which lists mounted and mountable devices, despite the hub showing no issues otherwise.
Checking during a session just now where EFI hijacked one of the mount folders, every single device was properly configured, including the one that should be mounted but wasn't.
With Linux Mint 21.2 Xfce, which I used for years before going to 22.2 Cinnamon and now 22.3 Xfce (always clean installs), there were no issues with mounting even with the exact same hardware combination. Meanwhile both 22.x systems I tried had this issue, though seemingly a bit less frequent in Xfce.
Asking some LLM after digging through forums without luck, it claimed that the issue could be a combination of the update of several drivers and kernel changing how the system handles mount logic, identification timing, etc., suggesting I mount through UUID identification instead. But hardware not being my forte, even if I have some notion of what UUIDs are, I'm extra suspicious of such a response.
So back to the question, are there known issues with Mint's handling of auto-mounting? And furthermore, how could the issue be mitigated or even avoided completely?
Thanks in advance!
