[SOLVED] Question about kernel message

[atunguyd]

HI hoping that @oshunluvr will see this - I dont seem to have permissions to send PM's on this forum:

Hi can I ask if you ever solved this problem you listed here: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum/...ing-is-mounted

I have a headless debian install with a drive I want to keep unmounted and only mount on a script to perform a backup then dismount it and since adding this drive I get the same regual kernel message I have also tied it to UDEV but not really sure what I need to do to prevent it from happening.

Thanks in advance

Anthony

You need to have a minimum number of posts before being able to do certain things.

Which version are you using? Which kernel?

[atunguyd]

I am using Debian 12 on this unit - kernel version is reported as 6.1.0-23-amd64

I realise it is not Kubuntu - but since oshunluvr had a similar problem here on kubuntu I was hoping he would have found a solution I can use in Debian.

edit - posted a solution I thought I had but turned out not to be the problem

For prosperity - I found the issue - it was webmin installed which has an option "Collect system status in background?" this seemed to be calling partprobe every time it runs - that in turn makes the kernel generate the line sdc:sdc1 for the unmounted partition. Sounds to me to be a kernel bug as a line like that makes no sense without context but for now I have just disabled the webmin option to collect system status in the background as I dont need this.
