Problem sharing a USB disk between several users

[Mathieu Bridon]

Hi,

I have two users on my laptop.

I also have an external USB hard drive, which is almost always plugged
in. (with documents, videos, etc...)

If I log in (user1), the USB hard drive gets automatically mounted in
his /run/media/user1/.

But then, when the other user logs in, then the USB hard drive is still
mounted in /run/media/user1/, and it won't get automatically mounted
in /run/media/user2/.

As a result, user2 will not be able to access the data on the USB hard
drive from her session.

Of course, if user2 logs in first, then she gets the hard drive, and
user1 won't.

Also, this happens whether both users are connected at the same time
(switch user) or not: if the first user logs out, the second one won't
get the hard drive mounted either.

This all happens on a fairly up to date Fedora 20, with GNOME 3.10 and
udisks 2.1.2.

Is that a known issue? Anything that can be done about it?
