Yes, HAL and udev handle the back end, but the disk-mounter and and the Gnome "Computer" window handle the UI, and the problem is with the UI. The information presented is pretty much the same, and I probably should have left the applet out of this. The "Computer" window presents an icon for every appropriate entry in /etc/fstab. An entry in /etc/fstab allows automounting, but the name of the mount point isn't where the Gnome UI shows the drive to be mounted. Case in point:
The think is (AFAIK), that you need not to touch fstab and let udev/HAL/gnome-volume-manager to handle everything automagically. I know a lot of people doesn't like the idea of automounting (myself, a veteran Linux user, rejected the idea initially); but it really "just works". When you insert a USB drive/CD-ROM, udev/HAL/gnome-volume-manager would just mount all the mountable partition/drives, and you just unmount them manually before remove them. Are you running gnome-volume-manager? -- Canek Peláez Valdés Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM -- [email protected] mailing list
