It's responsible for the "auto mount" behaviour for CDs in GNOME, I just thought I'd mention it. I used to remove it but it resurfaced somehow last time I did an install, and so I guessed it might have appeared during an upgrade or something. Failing that I'm stumped, but a few thoughts: If it's affecting both cdrom and floppy, it's unlikely to be a hardware issue, so something is broken, either something in your filesystem or in software. · Did you have anything else already mounted there? · Have you changed *anything* recently? Errata packages? Kernel? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
