I'm trying ot fight against the subfs system. I don't really need it, so I could revert to the old system, I already found the procedure. But I want to understand the whole thing. :) The problem is that I have an external HD connected via USB2. Upon connection, everything goes smoothly until the creation of two /media/usb-blabla entries (since there are two partitions on the disk). The first partition is a vfat, and works. The second is an ext3, and it does not work. If I try to enter, the system give a "no medium found" error. I catted the mtab, and found that the two partitions are mounted with fs=floppyfss option: the fat of course works, while the ext3 fails.
This bug was "fixed" in hotplug-0.44-32.22
The same problem for the USB key: it insist in mounting my usb memory stick read only, while i of course want it read write. the question is: why subfs gives that options? How can I change them?
It's not subfs giving you those options, it's /etc/hotplug/hotplug.subfs.functions
And, of course, why it gives so stupid options?
Maybe it's a limitation of subfs implementation. It is unable to recognize vfat file system without floppyfss parameter, and it is uanable to recognize reserfs or xfs or ext3 with floppyfss parameter. That's the price of using beta software. Regards, -Kastus
