Comment 9 for bug 87177

I'm testing as an "ordinary desktop computer user" as mentioned in the Official Ubuntu Book, so what I'm running is CD Live "out of the box" for the Feisty Alpha, 20070301. Here's /etc/fstab as in the iso on the Ubuntu daily-live site:

unionfs / unionfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0

So far I haven't seen the "duplicate" icons in Edgy or Dapper or PCLinuxOS or Knoppix or Simply Mepis or ... on the same hardware.

My particular interest in the USB icon is "casper-rw" for persistent mode which broke on Feisty after 20070207 (there's a launchpad bug on that) because I'd like to test Feisty on the five different PC's on our lan. I'm not about to install Feisty "Alpha" on five computers especially after Herd 2 trashed my partition table. I have seen "duplicate icons" on two different sets of hardware.

Cheers, Jerry
