** Description changed: In feisty, volumes that are mounted from fstab with the options "defaults" and/or "auto" are ignored and in consequence don't show up in place and in computer:// This is a different behavior from dapper or edgy, where all partitions, mounted or not, where present in computer://. People were used to that and it was IMO a good behavior. I also don't see why we should ignore those volumes. And if there is a reason, the rule is wrong cause a volume could be mounted with or without the "defaults" option with no change for the user, but with a different behavior in the desktop. - I suggest to revert the ignored volume policy to the one before 0.5.8.1-3ubuntu6 : + I suggest to revert the ignored volume policy to the one before + 0.5.8.1-3ubuntu6, with some modification, to not show only fixed + partitions which are not mounted in /media : + In the ignored_volume patch, replace : <!-- Ignore fixed partitions which are automatically mounted from fstab --> <match key="linux.fstab.mountpoint" exists="true"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge> <match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="defaults"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> <match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="auto"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> <match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="noauto"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge> </match> </match> by : <!-- Ignore fixed partitions which are not mounted in /media --> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="false"> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false"> <match key="volume.is_mounted" bool="true"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> <!-- Show /media/ drives --> <match key="volume.mount_point" compare_gt="/media"> <match key="volume.mount_point" copare_lt="/media0"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge> </match> </match> </match> </match> </match>
