From kde-devel Thu Sep 16 10:54:34 2004 From: Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2004 10:54:34 +0000 To: kde-devel Subject: KDE Volume Manager - broken behaviour on KDE 3.3.0 to do with Message-Id: <20040916105434.GE5725 () lkcl ! net> X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=109533141807575 > > it gets worse, of course - once you get into finding that > > the mountpoint doesn't start with "file:/" and it's not > > mounted. > This is a fondamental problem of mountAndRedirect. Kévin Ottens (aka > ervin) is working on this issue. i need to get this working asap - today would be nice! am quite happy to hack about but i'll try track keven down see if he needs any testers *lol* > Meanwhile, you still can use kvm : > - do not replace the mountwatcher by kvolumanager > - or do not use devices:/ to mount your floppy disks (other media are > automounted by kvm, so mounting is not an issue) okay, there's also the issue that a usb floppy isn't actually a floppy:/ it's actually a generic scsi device. so something has to change to support floppy:/ linking to /dev/sda instead of /dev/fd0. i _would_ suggest doing away with floppy:/ but the behaviour of the floppy device code i would expect to be different - am i right? see ... this is for a distribution where the computers will have a USB card reader (no legacy floppy drive). so i'm a bit under pressure to get all this to work! l. -- -- Truth, honesty and respect are rare commodities that all spring from the same well: Love.
