Dear Alexander:
I'm wondering if you may help with a suggestion. A recent update to Nautilus in Rawhide started to mount all filesystems it can find. Look at the goofy UID mountpoints under media:
[zaitcev@niphredil ~]$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/N1-Fedora 11109328 6180420 4355468 59% / /dev/sda2 132221 62889 62505 51% /boot tmpfs 963128 100 963028 1% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/N1-Q 90826872 69911240 16301900 82% /q /dev/dm-3 5482948 3540836 1663584 69% /media/0b64f5ac-88c8-44bb-9a5a-f6a6c9cfe3b0 /dev/dm-4 5776952 3715936 1762828 68% /media/5dd9d61a-9eaa-453d-8084-fa5be7f51eef [zaitcev@niphredil ~]$
This is rather inconventient for my laptop where I have a few virtual systems. Usually they are mounted manually, through this /etc/fstab:
[zaitcev@niphredil ~]$ more /etc/fstab /dev/N1/Fedora / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 debug /sys/kernel/debug debugfs defaults,noauto 0 0 /dev/N1/Swap swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/N1/Q /q ext3 defaults,noatime 1 2 /dev/N1/RHEL4 /mnt/rhel4 ext3 defaults,noauto 0 0 /dev/N1/RHEL5 /mnt/rhel5 ext3 defaults,noauto 0 0 [zaitcev@niphredil ~]$
So, is this behaviour configurable?
Failing that, I'm wondering if we could NOT mount volumes that ARE explicitly mentioned in /etc/fstab. Sounds counter-intuitive, but I like the way it works now for iPod, USB readers, flash keys, etc. I don't want to go back to caveman tricks... except for the multitude of special logical volumes.
Yours, -- Pete
