Package: amule
Version: 2.2.6+debian0-7
Severity: normal


I have a directory of files that I want to share on an external, USB disk (it's
on LVM, in case that's relevant).  I set the directory from Preferences /
Directories / Shared, and it seems to work, but when I unplug the disk and
later replug it, the directory is no longer present, and I have to once again
manually enter the directory by navigating the file tree.

Upstream agrees with what Werner said, so closing this report (since
it won't change and a workaround was provided).
