e17: hal: cannot mount unless I delete the relative row in /etc/fstab
« on: October 03, 2010, 10:41:11 AM »
if I try to mount a device using e17 file manger I get an error, if I delete the line relative to the device in /etc/fstab and I create a dir called /media it works

Is that so for all devices, including hard disk partitions, or only for removable media?

Random idea to try, make /media a symlink to /mnt and see what happens?
(of course this requires that there is no existent directory "/media" first)

alreay tried.
The error is: imposible to mount the device /org/freedesktop/volume/uuid....
/media/.......
org.freedesktop.HalDevice.Volume.PermissionDenied
Device /dev/sda1 is listed in /etc/fstab. Refiusing to mount.

If I remove the sda1 line in /etv/fstab it works

Not our problem. If HAL wants to mount it into an arbitrary spot, instead of using the unix standard method of being specified in fstab, their bug.
