I can see why this submission's Importance was tagged Undecided. Still, this guy kind of makes a valid point. From versions 7.X to 8.04.1 the automatic mounting of pre-defined partitions was either switched on or off by the installer and scanning default options in /etc/fstab I guess ( I am one of the individuals moving out of CLI).
Like this person I choose manual install of partitions. I noticed belatedly that one of my partitions gets mounted to /media/disk. I was being the CLI runt, assuming everything was FUBAR and started from scratch. Not a fatal error, but I wasted time. When I create a new directory /media/sda3 and type 'sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /media/sda3' does that mirror every action I click or type there onto /media/disk or are they actually separate partitions and separate actions? Ubuntu needs a wrapper, registry or container program to numerically allot drives as specified by the graphical mounting of pre-defined partitions. If /etc/fstab has/is being ignored or deprecated by the Ubuntu developers and I suspect it has been then let's make this function of hardware choice for software purposes more clear for everyone! -- No easy way to mount pre-existing partitions after OS installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236663 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
