Hi. First of all, i would like to say that I don't know if this is the right place for this question. As I couldn't find a more specific list, I am sending this question here. I am wondering if you could help or point someone that can.
I work for a company, and here we use a diskless environment (network boot). People who work here have different levels of computational knowledge. Some people don't use X, and others are people who use windows at their home computers. We use Debian 4.0, and I installed gnome-volume-manager in order to use pen drives automount. Gnome-volume-manager doesn't require that we put the mountpoints entries in etc/fstab; But, if I don't put the entries in fstab the user that don't use X, won't be able to mount pendrives without root privilegies. If I put the entries in fstab, gvm mount the pendrive, but I can't unmount them by clicking on the unmount option in the context menu. That occurs because i have something like this on fstab: /dev/sda1 /mnt/pensda1 auto noauto,users,umask=000 0 0 When I insert the pendrive, /dev/sda1 is registred on mtab. When I try to unmount by clicking on the unmount option I get this error: "umount: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 is not mounted (according to mtab)" I downloaded and read the gvm source and I could fix the problem by changing the umount function so that it obtains, in case of failure, (via hal calls) the mountpoint and them i use this to umount. But, I would like to know if there is another way to fix this, and if there isn't, if this would be accepted as a patch (is there a problem with thsi solution?). Thanks and sorry about the English errors :-) -- Leandro -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Use Free Software!. Help us make a Free World!"
