In gkrellm, a FS can be described for monitoring under the "primary" or
"secondary" tabs. Near as I can figure, the difference is that there's no
"show only if mounted" checkbox in "primary", so a slat for that FS is
always shown, with a small light's color indicating mounted/unmounted
status. No matter how I enter a FS, if gkrellm monitors its mount
status, it never gets unmounted. I can unmount it manually ("umount
/dev/$FOO") and it doesn't complain, but left to its own devices, things get
mounted on demand and stay that way..
I already found and disabled NFS. I don't need it any more, so it was no
loss.
Just for kicks:
with this in "primary":
Label: dvd2
Mount point: /mnt/auto/dvd2
[X] Ejectable
Device: /dev/dvd2
[root@pc root]# ls /mnt/dvd2 ; mount | grep dvd2 ; sleep 6 ; mount | grep
dvd2 ; umount /dev/dvd2 ; mount | grep dvd2
+ ls --color=tty /mnt/dvd2
bootdisk isolinux loadlin manual oscar syslinux sysrcd.dat
+ mount
+ grep dvd2
/dev/dvd2 on /mnt/dvd/dvd2 type iso9660 (ro,mode=0666)
+ sleep 6
+ mount
+ grep dvd2
/dev/dvd2 on /mnt/dvd/dvd2 type iso9660 (ro,mode=0666) <-- it's still
+ umount /dev/dvd2 there after 6 seconds.
+ mount
+ grep dvd2
++ echo -ne '\033]0;root@pc:~\007'
With that info, plus "show only if mounted", in secondary and not in
"primary":
[root@pc root]# ls /mnt/dvd2 ; mount | grep dvd2 ; sleep 6 ; mount | grep
dvd2 ; umount /dev/dvd2 ; mount | grep dvd2
+ ls --color=tty /mnt/dvd2
bootdisk isolinux loadlin manual oscar syslinux sysrcd.dat
+ mount
+ grep dvd2
/dev/dvd2 on /mnt/dvd/dvd2 type iso9660 (ro,mode=0666)
+ sleep 6
+ mount
+ grep dvd2
/dev/dvd2 on /mnt/dvd/dvd2 type iso9660 (ro,mode=0666) <-- still there
+ umount /dev/dvd2
+ mount
+ grep dvd2
++ echo -ne '\033]0;root@pc:~\007'
With that info not in gkrellm at all:
[root@pc root]# ls /mnt/dvd2 ; mount | grep dvd2 ; sleep 6 ; mount | grep
dvd2 ; umount /dev/dvd2 ; mount | grep dvd2
+ ls --color=tty /mnt/dvd2
bootdisk isolinux loadlin manual oscar syslinux sysrcd.dat
+ mount
+ grep dvd2
/dev/dvd2 on /mnt/dvd/dvd2 type iso9660 (ro,mode=0666)
+ sleep 6
+ mount
+ grep dvd2 <-- no output, not there
+ umount /dev/dvd2
umount: /dev/dvd2: not mounted
+ mount
+ grep dvd2
++ echo -ne '\033]0;root@pc:~\007'
I don't know what other conclusion to draw.
