2008-12-11 17:47:48 Charlie Kravetz thunar-volman: statusexplanation I am able to reproduce this using Xubuntu 8.04.01 and Thunar 0.9.0-4ubuntu2 on a new installation with no added programs Steps to produce the problem: 1. insert floppy disk in drive; 2. click on Places -> Floppy Drive (Floppy Drive is greyed out at this time) 3. Thunar opens at /media/floppy0 and shows view of floppy disk files and directories a. right-click on Floppy Drive shortcut shows "Mount Volume" and "Eject Volume" b. files and directories open as expected if clicked at this point 4. right-click on Floppy Drive, left-click "Mount Volume" a. greys out as expected b. no errors c. /media/.hal-mtab is empty d. /etc/mtab shows entry: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 vfat ro,nosuid,nodev,utf8,user=charlie 0 0 5. right-click on Floppy Drive shortcut, left-click on "Eject Volume" a. gui error box opens: Failed to eject "Floppy Drive". eject unable to eject. last error: Invalid argument b. left click Floppy Drive shortcut, "Mount Volume" is greyed out, "Eject Volume" is still active c. Floppy Drive appears to have unmounted; /etc/mtab no longer has the floppy drive listed d. To be able to mount/unmount the floppy drive again using Thunar, I have to log out of the desktop and log in again e. I am able to mount/unmount the floppy disk using terminal I can reproduce this any time with the same results. Expected results: Thunar should allow mount/unmount of the floppy disk; if "Eject Volume" is used to unmount, perhaps the wording should be changed to "Unmount Volume". Eject means the floppy disk should eject from the drive.
