Two USB drive are plugged, but only one is shown

[Francis Giraldeau]

Binary package hint: ltspfs

When plugging two USB drive of the same model, udev assign them the same ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE. It appears that it's the same name than the mount point. Here is the mouting operations on the client :

mount -t vfat -o defaults /dev/sda1 /var/run/drives/KINGSTON
mount -t vfat -o defaults /dev/sdb1 /var/run/drives/KINGSTON
umount /var/run/drives/KINGSTON
umount /var/run/drives/KINGSTON

So, only the content of the latest plugged usb drive is shown.

This problem could be avoided by concatenating another variable to the mount point.

Joined, there is the environment variables for booth drives, as they are available in /lib/udev/add_fstab_entry

Here is the environment variables. We could use one of them, or maybe poke HAL for other...

Just pushed a fix upstream. If a previous label of the same name exists in ltspfs_fstab, it will assign a different label based upon the current label plus "-$DEVICENAME". So, "KINGSTON-sdb1".

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

This has been fixed upstream, adding the device name and title (KINGSTON-sda1 for example).

Fixed in Jaunty.
