This may be similar to What are /media/[user]/disk, /media/[user]/disk1, etc.? which was asked 10 months ago but no one answered.

I was just using my Ubuntu Studio 22.04 machine with XFCE 4.16. and suddenly noticed there's an extra "509 MB volume" with the label disk, i.e., /media/(myuser)/disk.

Here are the contents of /media/dlm/disk/:

$ ls /media/dlm/disk/
command-chain  data-dir  etc  gnome-platform  lib  meta  sbin  snap  usr  var
$ $ ls /media/dlm/disk/command-chain/
desktop-launch  hooks-configure-fonts
$ ls /media/dlm/disk/data-dir/
icons  sounds  themes
$ ls /media/dlm/disk/etc/
bindresvport.blacklist  fonts     gnome    init.d      ld.so.conf.d  profile.d  sensors3.conf  X11
emacs                   gai.conf  gtk-3.0  ld.so.conf  presage.xml   pulse      sensors.d      xdg
$ ls /media/dlm/disk/gnome-platform/
$ ls /media/dlm/disk/lib/
udev  x86_64-linux-gnu
$ ls /media/dlm/disk/meta
gui  snap.yaml
$ ls /media/dlm/disk/sbin
ldconfig  ldconfig.real
$ ls /media/dlm/disk/snap
manifest.yaml  snapcraft.yaml
$ ls /media/dlm/disk/usr
bin  lib  libexec  sbin  share
$ ls /media/dlm/disk/var
lib

I don't remember doing anything to mount an archive or any other volume. I mean, I guess it's harmless? But... I didn't ask for it, so it shouldn't happen, and if it does happen, it should be reversible.

For tidiness' sake, I'd like to unmount it, but the volume is "busy".

So I wonder. Who created this volume? Who is using it so that it's busy?

It now mounts automatically when USB stick is inserted. More user frieandly.

lsof or similar utility will show which process prevents it unmount.
