port sysutils/hal -> fixed_mountpoints - what does this mean?

2009-08-13 Thread Anton Shterenlikht
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

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.
