I began investigating this because I wanted to know if it was possible to tell gvm to only auto-mount a single partition on my firewire drive and not all five when I switch it on. Since then I have observed the following broken behaviour in the two simplest cases:
Gnome menu -> Desktop -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media provides three check boxes: Mount removable drives when hotplugged Mount removable media when inserted Browse removable media when inserted With ALL of these checkboxes UNCHECKED, gnome-volume-manager mounts all the partitions on my firewire drive the *first* time I switch it on. With ALL of these checkboxes CHECKED, gnome-volume-manager will ONLY mount any of the partitions on my firewire drive the *first* time I switch it on. The following errors are reported in my kern.log on every subsequent switch-on: ieee1394: sbp2: Error reconnecting to SBP-2 device - reconnect failed ieee1394: sbp2: Logged out of SBP-2 device ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device ieee1394: Node 0-00:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [1024] I'm aware these errors have nothing to do the gvm but they may explain why gvm appears to be broken in the second simplest case. Despite these errors, I can still mount, unmount and remount partitions manaually (using pmount) or using the Gnome Disk Mounter panel applet without any problems at all. sdt P.S. I think the dbus/hald/udevd/gvm hardware conspiracy is fantastic by the way. Keep up the good work. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
