My second internal hard drive in the core is unmounted and remounted a few times a minute. Anyone else seen this?

This is a side-effect of the nbd-based automounter which is used for each device in the system. It is normal.

Well I changed this bit of code:
## See if the drive is mountable
mountDirTemp=$(mktemp -d)
Log "mount ${IDrive_BlockDev} $mountDirTemp"
mount ${IDrive_BlockDev} $mountDirTemp #1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
isDriveMountable=$?
if [[ "$isDriveMountable" != "0" ]] ;then
Log "Drive $IDrive_ID ($IDrive_BlockDev) cannot be mounted"
SetDeviceOnline "$IDrive_ID" "0"
rmdir $mountDirTemp
continue
else
umount -lf $mountDirTemp 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
Log "Drive $IDrive_ID ($IDrive_BlockDev) unmounted at stage 3"
rmdir $mountDirTemp
fi
SetDeviceOnline "$IDrive_ID" "1"
by adding "if [[ "$isDriveAvailable" != "0" ]] ;then" at the beginning and closing with "fi" at the end. i.e. now it does not try to mount and umount the drive unless it is not available.
Why is it normal to constantly test whether the drive is mountable when it is already mounted?
Cheers,
Chris
