Bug Description
Binary package hint: mountmanager
Using Kubuntu 9.04 RC for AMD64, latest upgrades, mountmanager 0.2.6-0ubuntu2
With this latest version of mountmanager, I can manage the most common mount types in /etc/fstab.
But certain entries in /etc/fstab are deleted when applying the changes /for the first time/ running the program.
No backup is created in this case, and only subsequent changes are included in the program's integrated history
(> "Tools" > "Restoration system"). There is no backup of the /original/ state of /etc/fstab.
These entries that I know of are deleted:
- NFS mount lines of the kind: "serverURL:
- crypto mounts: "/dev/mapper/
- comments
Some entries are displayed in the preview section of mountmanager, but are not saved to /etc/fstab.
I'd be happy to provide more information if needed.
That affects me too.
btw, I can't remember, what for I installed that mountmanager?
Anyway, it cleared my whole fstab.
