[newbie] FStab lines in M9.1
Something has inserted three extra lines in my current fstab:- /dev/sdc1 /mnt/hd auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/hd2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0 /dev/sdd1 /mnt/removable auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0 What is more I think one or other or all causes problems with my scanner. So what is /mnt/hd and /mnt/hd2 I wonder ? What are these supposed to do ? Could they be what k3b's setup wizzard created ? I do have, /dev/sda1 /mnt/reader vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 which is my smart card reader. This I set up myself. By the look of things /mnt/removable is somethings attempt to install my smart card reader again, or possibly my camera, which is only is a usb cable without the camera attatched.

I don't mess with fstab regularly, but I'd change the hds back to cdrom and cdrom2, and then do a supermount -i enable to turn on supermount and include the change in fstab (the -i switch).

John This was a major embarrassment with 9.0 and 9.1. By default k3b edited fstab, only there was in fact a way to avoid that : somewhere in the setup process one could untick a checkbox, not allowing it to do so. It almost drove me crazy until Derek pointed me in the right direction. Until then I used XCDroast, which has a horrible user interface. Funny thing is, from 9.2 and now 10.x this bad behaviour seems to be history. Now k3b installs cleanly and functions well (at least on my old clunker here). Actually the were some people here, including myself, suggesting that any programmer who made alterations to fstab should be taken out and shot. On the other hand, if you aren't as lazy as I am, why not use the Tom Brinkman method : the command line ? A few days ago he posted a recipe for almost all needs, like burning .iso's, DVD's, data, music and so on. Just check the archive.
