Partitions mounted in /media, data directories off /
Hi, I noticed with Beta4 that my partitions outside my fstab are automatically mounted inside the /media folder. I also notice that there appears to be several /data[x] directories, I think these existed in previous versions. I was hoping someone could give me a few details about these, specifically answers to these questions: 1. Do the mounted /media/disk[x] folders roughly correspond (the [x] appears to be numbered differently) to /data[x]? 2. If so, is there a reason for both to be there? 3. My labeled partition seems to get different permissions: cgroneman@chad2:/media> ll total 5 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2006-01-04 20:46 disk drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 648 2006-02-17 19:04 disk-1 drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 592 2006-01-31 23:42 disk-2 drwsrwsrwt 6 root root 136 2006-02-17 19:03 STORAGE Why does STORAGE (the labelled partition) get different permissions than the others? Thanks, Chad

I have not checked it. Look in /etc/fstab what is what in one terminal and `df` in another and compare.
2. If so, is there a reason for both to be there?
/data[X] are the mountpoints in /etc/fstab /media/disk[X] are the mountpoints in the replacement for subfs. So if you want to mount manually, you end up with /data1 and when you use the new system, you get /media/disk1 (if the numbers are the same)
Why does STORAGE (the labelled partition) get different permissions than the others?
No idea. I have not yet looked into this new mounting system, so no idea on how these names can be changed and so on. Not really intended to use it in the future as I am a WindowMaker user. :-) houghi -- Nutze die zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

I am seeing this as well. My test machine has quite a few operating systems, and beta4 mounted as many of their partitions as it could under /media (with no fstab entry). Is this the intended behavior? How would someone keep that from happening? -- ====================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ====================================================== "Greater coherence cannot be achieved.

People are (I hope still) looking for a good replacement for automounting. houghi -- Nutze die zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit. Leben ist aber mehr als Wert und Arbeit, und das Sein wichtiger als das tun. Johannes Müller-Elmau

Hal will refuse to mount partitions mentioned in the fstab (not on beta4 yet). cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Development V_/_ http://www.suse.de/

So what will be gone? The `/data[X]` and the fstab references, or the /media/disk[Y] reference? Also: is it easy to change the /media/disk[Y] reference? If yes, where? What are the manpages/websites I need to read to better understand the working of this? houghi -- Nutze die zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

I don't know. I guess a bug wants to be filed to clarify.

Change the filesystem label. You can also configure the mount point in the tool used to issue the mount request.

The hal source code probably. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Development V_/_ http://www.suse.de/

As it says "will refuse" I do not consider it a bug as people are working on it.

Any pointers would be nice. I understand that there are two programs doing this. One for KDE and one for Gnome, or am I wrong here?

OK, so not understandable for me. houghi -- Nutze die zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit. Leben ist aber mehr als Wert und Arbeit, und das Sein wichtiger als das tun. Johannes Müller-Elmau

Why does STORAGE (the labelled partition) get different permissions than the others?
Good question ;-) I have some questions that might clarify the situation: - What filesystems do you use on the mentioned partitions? - Does / of the STORAGE partition have the permissions you get when it's mounted inside /media? - what's the output of mount ? Regards, Christian Boltz --

All Reiserfs - see output of mount.
- Does / of the STORAGE partition have the permissions you get when it's mounted inside /media?
Yes.
- what's the output of mount ?

Yes.
Then it should be quite simple: chmod 755 /media/STORAGE/ while it is mounted.

Looks OK and doesn't differ between the partitions mounted in /media. Regards, Christian Boltz -- Wahrscheinlich habe ich wieder fürchterlichen Code produziert, aber du bist ja mittlerweile schon beinahe mein persönlicher Codestaubsauger. ;-) [Andreas Schott]
