Pristine, as installed:
DOS_hda2 FAT32
DOS_hda5 FAT32
DOS_hda6 FAT32
DOS_hda7 FAT32
DOS_hda8 (is actually an HPFS partition)
DOS_hdd5 FAT16
cdrom
disk
floppy
hd
Odd, but hda9 through 13 are also HPFS but are not in /etc/fstab.
Bug Report: DrakX-supplied /etc/fstab specifies hda8 as vfat, which is
incorrect.
Idea!
I deleted the /dev/hda8 line from /etc/fstab and rebooted - KFM still hangs
on /mnt. /dev/hda8 is not in the mount list.
Previous tests:
I can manually mount things in other places and KFM navigates
them just fine.
Removing all the supermounts proved that the problem is not
supermount-related.
After marking all the hda lines in /etc/fstab as noauto and rebooting, KFM
shows the /mnt directory correctly.
Using the desktop icons to mount:
hda2 OK
hda5 OK
hda6 hangs KFM!
Using Partition Magic 5.0 to examine this partition:
No errors found.
Reboot Oxygen and mount via icons but in a different order:
hda6 - mounts, clicking on mount point produces blank window and KFM is
now hung.
Boot up Win 98 SE:
Look at E: (hda6) with Explorer. Fine.
Thorough Scandisk of E: - Fine.
Boot PM 5.0 from floppy again:
C is 588.3 Mb FAT32
D is 1051.1 Mb FAT32
E is 627.5 Mb FAT32
F is 447.1 Mb FAT32
G is 604.0 Mb FAT32
So it is not a size problem.
Boot Oxygen again:
click-mount from Dos_hda7 icon - KFM freezes.
Make a Ctl+Alt+F2 terminal.
umount /dev/hda7 - busy.
Exercise mounting hda6 and hda8 to their defined mount
points and looking inside the partition - no problems. umount both - OK.
Conclusion:
The problem is located in KFM (Gnome or command line do not exhibit this
problem) .
Mandrake 6.1 (kdebase-1.1.2-9mdk) has no problem. Oxygen
(kdebase-1.1.2-30mdk) has this problem somewhere in these 21 more patch
levels.
This is a show-stopper problem.
