Hello,
HAL instructions in BLFS have the following bug here (however, with HAL
updated to 0.5.5.1): directories under /media "leak". I.e., if I plug
and unplug my USB flash drive several times,
/media/usbdisk{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...} are created.
I think (but I may be wrong, I am not a HAL expert) that this is related
somehow to the fact that BLFS suppresses the use of the "managed"
keyword in /etc/fstab for entries managed by HAL. If I remove a "9,11"
part of their sed, HAL becomes able to remove its entries from
/etc/fstab upon device removal. But, such entries are not mountable
because the "mount" command in LFS chokes upon this new "managed" option.
RedHat has a patch for this:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/devel/util-linux/util-linux-2.12j-managed.patch
Looks like HAL depends upon patched util-linux, that's why I posted to
lfs-dev and not blfs-dev list. I admit that my investigation is incomplete.
