Public bug reported:
Hello.
I'm facing a weird problem : yesterday, I could dynamically mount from
Nautilus a partition who was not present in /etc/fstab. Today it's not
possible anymore. The HDD is correctly detected (/dev/sdd), parted or
cfdisk say ther is only 1 partition (that is correct), but when I try to
mount /dev/sdd1 from command line, I get ther error "mount: périphérique
spécial /dev/sdd1 n'existe pas" (in US : "special device /dev/sdd1 does
not exist").
I also ran into another weird problem last weekend, while installing
Ubuntu 11.04 for a new-switching friend of mine. His brand new PC is an
Acer Aspire X3910. Its hard drive is alternately detected as /dev/sda
and /dev/sdc. It's not a big deal for daily use, but hardware monitoring
tools such as hddtemp report rogue temperature (and for a good reason :
try to read information from a non existent /dev entry !)
These 2 problems lead me to imagine that there could be a problem with
UDEV. I tried to write a static udev rule to fix the second issue, but I
did not succeed (I'm quite a newbie for these sorts of thing !) If you,
dear reader, are able to help me right now, feel free to do so and be
greatly thanked in advance !
Anyway, thanks a lot for reading AND producing a great system. I do
prefer to face such difficulties than struggling with Windows !
Best regards,
Al.
