I've been through this a couple of times and am beginning to think that |
2 |
the Gnome Disk Mounter applet is just plain confused. |
3 |
|
4 |
Apparently the applet creates icons with names based on entries |
5 |
in /etc/fstab, but when a device is mounted, as per instructions |
6 |
in /etc/fstab, it creates an icon based on the Vendor and Model ATTRS in |
7 |
the sysfs tree and ignores the entry in /etc/fstab. But if the fstab |
8 |
entry is removed, the applet says "Cannot mount volume" and quits on the |
9 |
mount. |
10 |
|
11 |
So I end up having 2 icons on my "Computer" for every USB device I want |
12 |
to mount - one on which nothing gets mounted, and one which gets |
13 |
dynamically created using a name I don't want, and which holds the mount |
14 |
as spec'd in /etc/fstab. |
15 |
|
16 |
I've tried tinkering with udev ATTR{key} assignment but this is largely |
17 |
undocumented and I can't make it work, and can't find any other way deal |
18 |
with this issue. Is there some documentation on this facility and on |
19 |
the applet somewhere, or is it just mainly broken, as I suspect? |
