Description Jens 2018-12-29 21:59:58 UTC

I get "This device is already mounted at /media/jens/XXXX" error messages frequently. Please check that you are not mounting stuff repeatedly when handling encrypted LUKS partitions.

It seems the decrypted drive is mounted according to crypttab/fstab, but expected to be mounted in /dev/dm-x

Comment 2 Linus 2019-11-02 04:05:49 UTC

I also get this error message.
I didn't add the removable device to any other system.

This message is there for a pretty long time and (a little) annoying since it works (status icon for device changes accordingly).

To me it seems like a "Error: Success" error message or dolphin somehow does try to mount it twice.

Encountered this behaviour is on both Manjaro and ArchLinux for at least a year (probably even longer).
