Hi All, |

I suspect that something changed recently on the way that USB devices are |
| 4 |
mounted. I noticed that mounting a USB flash drive has stopped working as |
| 5 |
follows: |
| 6 |
================================== |
| 7 |
$ dmesg |

|
| 34 |
$ pmount /dev/sda |
| 35 |
Error: device /dev/sda is not removable |
| 36 |
================================== |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
However, clicking on the device in Konqueror under media:/ mounts it happily |
| 39 |
under /media/disk. Previously it would mount it under /media/sda and the |
| 40 |
pmount command would not error out as shown above. |
| 41 |
================================== |
| 42 |
$ mount |
| 43 |
[snip...] |
| 44 |
/dev/sda on /media/disk type vfat |
| 45 |
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,flush,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower) |
| 46 |
================================== |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I also noticed that "shortname=lower" is set as the default, which is annoying |
| 49 |
because the file/folder names are forced to display in lower case. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
I am using dbus and hald with a Fluxbox WM so the default KDE behaviour with |
| 52 |
the automounting pop up dialog does not work here (unless I have launched the |
| 53 |
full KDE DE). |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Any ideas what has caused these changes? Are they reversible/configurable? |
