I had just started running an update when I noticed the problem. Unfortunately I did not check before starting the update, so I do not know if the update may have caused this, or if it was already present before I started the update. Interestingly I do not have an entry in /etc/fstab to auto-mount the SD card, yet it is auto-mounted. Are there any other scripts which auto-mount removable media? Is it possible that starting Nautilus auto-mounts external volumes? I am thinking of 2 things: 1. Either the volume's name has changed, and some script is picking up the mount point name from the volume's name 2. The script which auto-mounts the volume is corrupted ?? -- Thanks & Regards Parag Shah http://blog.adaptivesoftware.biz _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
