Hi, thanks for the reply.
There seems to be at least two ways to mount partitions automatically.
One is the hotplug system mounts partitions, the other is it the
partition is mentioned in fstab and gets mounted during boot.
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the
problem,
I booted the system from a /boot partition that was on an USB device.
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
After boot the /boot partition was mounted because it is mentioned in fstab
(uuid),
the other partitions were mounted like hotplug devices.
Then I wanted to remove the USB device.
(I was not aware of /boot being mounted differently)
So I right-clicked on one of the icons that stood for a partitions that resided
on the USB device to have it unmounted. (And with it all the other partitions
on the same device.) (It was not the /boot partition.)
This gave an error message that I don't remember any more, but it did not point
me to the /boot partition at all.
Only after inspecting the output from mount did I notice the mounted /boot
partition and could I unmount it on the console.
So the error message I saw was probably related to the hotplugging system not
being able to unmount the /boot partition.
2. the behavior you expected
I'm not sure. The wish I formulated earlier was to display all partitions that
reside on the same device in a subfolder on the desktop. For one, that way
there would not be so much mess on the desktop with multiple hotplug disks
attatched that contain several partitions. And second, I might have
right-clicked on the folder (diskdevice) to unmount all partitions, and even if
the error message did not help me, I might have noticed the /boot partition
still mounted inside the folder afterwards.
4. you mention an error message; what is the exact wording?
I'm sorry I don't remember. But I hope I could clarify what the problem was,
even though it said somthing different.
