port sysutils/hal -> fixed_mountpoints - what does this mean?
in port sysutils/hal there is an option fixed_mountpoints= which is "off" by default. Is the meaning of this option documented somewhere? I've had lots of trouble with hal/dbus/X in the past I wonder if my options are to blame. many thanks -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

This option tells hal to use fixed names for /media mount points instead of volume labels. It should have no effect on being able to detect or mount media.
