@ artinP (bircoe): Thanks for the link, but it did not address the issue of duplicated entries for samba shares. It did, however, contain other useful piece of information: mounting protected samba shares without a credentials file.
Regarding the duplicated issue, I think the problem has to do with /etc/fstab, /etc/mtab, and the way nautilus reads those files. Once an entry in /etc/fstab is mounted, it appears in /etc/mtab, but for some reason (usually when not using default options), the mtab entry is different from the fstab entry. When nautilus reads the two files, it gets confused, and shows both the fstab entry and the mtab entry. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442130 Title: Custom fstab causes duplicate entries for partitions in Places Status in GVFS: New Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus I wanted my disks to automount on startup, but I didnt want to address them directly with device path, since it can change. So instead i use the LABEL directive. Now each partition is listed twice in Nautilus Places (see screenshot). According to a post on ubuntuforums, this issue can also happen if you identify partitions by UUID: * http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8050320 A workaround is to specify the partitions by /dev/sdXXX paths instead # /etc/fstab: static file system information. proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 LABEL=ubuntu / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=4c604809-286a-4bf3-afd5-d23ff2e5464c none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 LABEL=mp3 /media/mp3 ext4 users,noauto,noexec,noatime,rw 0 2 LABEL=tvserier /media/tvserier ext4 users,noauto,noexec,noatime,rw 0 3 LABEL=filmer /media/filmer ext4 users,noauto,noexec,noatime,rw 0 4 LABEL=downloads /media/downloads ext4 users,noauto,noexec,noatime,rw 0 5 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Oct 4 13:07:08 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: nautilus 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu4 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-11.38-generic SourcePackage: nautilus Uname: Linux 2.6.31-11-generic x86_64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/442130/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
