Hello, I was wondering if it were possible to have gnome-vfs filter out all those /etc/fstab entries which refer to devices being no longer valid. The /etc/fstab is created at install time and entries are populated according to the block devices found on the system during setup, a typical example in this respect is the cd-rom drive. Problem is, if the user later on moves the cd-drive to a different IDE channel, the corresponding /etc/fstab entry is invalidated. Actually this is not a serious issue, because gnome-vfs would get the new device node through HAL, problem is we will end with a "bogus" cd-rom drive showing up in nautilus. Actually, an easy workaround would be removing any reference to cd-rom drives from /etc/fstab altogether, since most desktop apps seem to rely on HAL nowadays: pmount is a valid example in this respect, it will still work even if no fstab entry is provided for the device which is being mounted. On the other hand, some don't: gnomebaker is one of these. Regards, andre
It's more of a gnome-volume-
