What about Windows partitions on the hard disk? Fedora Core 3 (Gnome 2.8) shows the icon in computer:/// as it is described in /etc/fstab but Fedora Core 5 (Gnome 2.14) doesn't show any hard disk icon anywhere.
Now I can't mount Windows partitions in Nautilus, I have to use the command line and I have to get there from the location bar typing /mnt/win_c. Any reason why the hard disk icons got hidden in this situation? There should be a simple way for users to mount other partitions if they are allowed in fstab. -William El vie, 31-03-2006 a las 14:04 -0600, Federico Mena Quintero escribió: > Hi, > > I'm looking at this bug: > http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321320 > > Right now we have four places where the user can see drives/volumes: > > 1.
