Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Slackware Packages OS: Linux I have an external harddisk with label-ids and created this entry in /etc/fstabv for it: LABEL=Digitus /mnt/digitus ext3 noauto,user,exec 0 0 I see an icon in media:/ for this device and I can click on it and the right partition get mounted as: /dev/sda1 on /mnt/digitus type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=klaus) The problem is that this icon will not open the folder /mnt/digitus/. Also when I click once more on this icon I get the error message: mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt/digitus busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /mnt/digitus The icon also doesn't show that it is already mounted and the right click menu also still provides the mount option but no unmount option. Also when you activate device icons on the desktop it also doesn't work correctly. You can only mount the partition with the icon, but you are not able to open it.
Okay, I have found an error log message now: $ kio (KAutoMount): WARNING: LABEL=Digitus was correctly mounted, but KIO::findDeviceMountPoint didn't find it. This looks like a bug, please report it on http://bugs.kde.org, together with your /etc/fstab line The /etc/fstab entry is still the same: LABEL=Digitus /mnt/digitus ext3 noauto,user,exec 0 0
Problem also exists in KDE 3.5.3
KDE 3.5.4 getting the same message to report it here.
Recent HAL versions do not deal with devices listed in /etc/fstab at all. http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/hal/hal/ChangeLog?r1=1.807&r2=1.808
Problem exists in version 3.5.6 This problem will become more common with kernel 2.6.20+ which treats the PATA harddisk through SCSI emulation, thus changing the harddisk from /dev/hd* to /dev/sd* This requires the fstab entries for the devices to be through labels or UUID, if one wants an earlier kernel as a backup.
I have updated to Slackware 12.0 with KDE 3.5.7 and the bug still exists: kio (KAutoMount): WARNING: LABEL=Digitus was correctly mounted, but KIO::findDeviceMountPoint didn't find it. This looks like a bug, please report it on http://bugs.kde.org, together with your /etc/fstab line Well, but Slackware 12.0 includes now HAL/dbus and with that it seems to work at least.
kio media doesn't exist on KDE4.
