Yeah, it's a perennial problem. I guess people are trying to solve it
with user-space proxy filesystems and the like. Not sure how mature
they are.
But what if all volumes that the user mounted when he/she was logged
on,
automatically got umounted when the user who mounted it logs out? That
would solve it.
Hmmm. The argument against that I guess is that the user could want it
to stay mounted for one of their cron jobs or something. Maybe that's
sufficiently obscure that we could ignore it. But it still doesn't
solve the case of a user just ejecting the disk before logout.
About the "console" flag: would a user sitting on an XDMCP
terminal be
considered a console user or not?
No.
How is it determined if he/she is a
console user or not?
Local Linux console login or local GDM.
