Public bug reported:
When I plug in my USB drive it is mounted as /media/disk-X where X is a number.
I wanted to change this so that it asways mounted at /media/passport so I
- right clicked the mounted icon
- selected properties
- selected the Volume tab
- typed /media/passport
- closed the dialog.
I then created the /media/passport directory as root and then reinserted
the USB drive. I was greeted by an error message, telling me the drive
couldn't be mounted (screenshot attached).
There are several problems here:
- There is now no way to remove the bad setting. Since the drive isn't
mounted it doesn't get an icon to examine the properties.
- The error message is poor and technical and its title bar is empty.
- The properties dialog UI is poor in several ways:
- It doesn't validate the settings.
- It doesn't give help or examples (I assumed that a mount point would be a
path but it sounds like it can't contain a slash so that must be a mistake).
