[edgy] gnome shows duplicated mounts

[Nicolò Chieffo]

I've just installed and upgraded edgy.
during the configuration I chose to mount 3 partitions.
the gnome desktop (not the disk mounter applet) shows 6 partitions mounted! of course every partion is duplicated, and I see:

DATI, DATI(2), XP, XP (2), hda7, /mnt/ubuntu

NOTE: the last two are the same partition. I think that I gave the label "/mnt/ubuntu" to that partition during a previous install of fedora.

Thanks for your bug. I'll look at that issue and fix it

Me too. Trying to remove the mount with the volume name gives me an "access denied" error.

[V S (th-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Oh, and trying to remove the mount, I think, crashed the package. See attachment.

Same thing here

I have Dapper Drake on a partition and recently install Knot 2 on another partition. The two installations share the same /home directory (partition).

On the desktop and in Places I see duplicated entries :

hdc1 - hdc1(2) - data - data(2)

gnome-vfs logic for /etc/fstab, /proc/mount is incompatible with the new UUID=
scheme in fstab, they don't use the same name for the device, and there's at least an other bad interaction with hald.

BTW what is the logic for mounting partitions from an external drive?

[Sander D (sanderd)]

A quick workaround for those annoyed by the duplicate icons, is changing /etc/fstab. By default it uses codes starting with "UUID=". If you replace those codes with the appropriate names like /dev/sda1 for the volumes displayed twice, and remount them (sudo umount /media/VolumeName && sudo mount /media/VolumeName), Nautilus should display them correctly. I don't know whether there are any advantages of using UUID though.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I'll try to fix that for edgy beta

[mazime (lumassy)]

Hi, i've try to edit /etc/fstab with correct device /dev/hda1 (standard fstab) and restart Ubuntu Knot3.
After restart the icons are not visible on desktop, the devices is not mounted.
This problem is for my vfat partitions.
I don't have another ext3 partition.

The strange thing is that the diskmounter applet only shows the
correct partitions!

Same here on a newly installed 7.04 system + "Automatix NTFS read/write mounter".

System configuration:

HDA1 (Local HD with Windows XP)
SDA1 (External USB drive with Ubuntu - running my OS from this partition + 500GB NTFS partition)
SDB1 (External USB drive with Ubuntu - installed for other PC + 250GB NTFS partition)

BTW, I'd like to add that this problem is intermittent - sometimes after I logout and login again, the drives look good - 1 icon per partition.

closing this to lower open bug numbers, since it is fixed now, and gnomevfs will be deprecated
