** Description changed:
In feisty, volumes that are mounted from fstab with the options
"defaults" and/or "auto" are ignored and in consequence don't show up in
place and in computer://
This is a different behavior from dapper or edgy, where all partitions,
mounted or not, where present in computer://. People were used to that
and it was IMO a good behavior.
I also don't see why we should ignore those volumes.
And if there is a reason, the rule is wrong cause a volume could be mounted
with or without the "defaults" option with no change for the user, but with a
different behavior in the desktop.
I suggest to revert the ignored volume policy to the one before
0.5.8.1-3ubuntu6 :
In the ignored_volume patch, replace :
<!-- Ignore fixed partitions which are automatically mounted from fstab
-->
<match key="linux.fstab.mountpoint" exists="true">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
<match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="defaults">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
<match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="auto">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
<match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="noauto">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</match>
by :
-
+ <!-- Ignore fixed partitions which are not mounted in /media -->
