Media devices mount by the volume info which renders any software invalid that expects to see a fixed mount point. Yes, someone here posted a link to a workaround but my question is: why in Hell did Suse allow this bastardized code to make it into production in the first place? It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the system should provide static mount points for a device, not the &%$#@ volume info of the media in it.
If you add the device to fstab, the media system will ignore the device and not try to mount it. Now, for that you need a device name, and you can get one using /dev/dsk/by-id I guess. I don't think there is any functonality lost here. -- Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett Novell :: SUSE R&D, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
