Public bug reported: I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.
As I would like to add acl support everytime a partition is mounted by any user, I tried to add acl option to fstab by adding the following line: UUID=580214b3-c7b1-4d3e-bc91-acb1c08d4793 /media/data ext3 acl,users,noauto,errors=remount-ro 0 1 but this affects the gnome gui behavior. Behavior of the gnome gui before adding the fstab line: 1. No mountig point (folder named data) is required under the media folder to mount the device; once mounted by clicking on the upper menu Places > data, you will find a folder named *data* under the media folder (containing the mounted device) which will be automatically deleted after unmounting the device by right-click on its desktop icon and selecting *unmount*. 2. The name of this not-removable device labeled *data* is listed only once under the upper menu Places and clicking on it will produce an *authentication required* to mount it. Behavior of the gnome gui after adding the fstab line: 1. Clicking on the menu Places > data will produce an error like Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: mount point /media/data does not exist until a folder is created under the media folder to be used as mounting point. This folder used as mounting point won't be deleted after unmounting the device by right-click on its desktop icon and selecting *unmount*. 2. For the presence of this folder (mount point) the name of *data* will be listed twice under the upper menu Places and clicking on one of them will produce to mount directly the device without the *authentication required*. $ uname -a Linux loyola 2.6.31-20-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 8 09:05:19 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux $ sudo apt-cache policy nautilus nautilus: Installato: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3 Candidato: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3 Tabella versione: *** 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- adding acl option to fstab affects the gnome gui behavior https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/535602 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
