Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager
When accessing the properties of a mounted media and changing the mount
point option on the "Volume"-Tab, one can set a mount point to use for
that volume. It seems that this only referes to the last part of the
"real" mount point, so one is expected to enter "foo" when the volume
should be mounted on "/media/foo". This might be better for novice user,
but I tried entering "/media/foo", which was accepted without a problem.
Unfortunately when re-plugging the device back in it a warning dialog
pops up that says "Cannot mount volume. Unable to mount volume" . When
clicking details the message "mount_point cannot contain the following
characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPERATOR (usually /)".
Only changing the key
/system/storage/volumes/_org_freedesktop_Hal_devices_voume_uuid_*/mount_point"
to "foo" (or anything else without newlines and /) enables me to use the
usb-stick again.
I suggest two changes:
* The properties dialog should check for valid values and not allow a "/" to be
entered
* The volume should be mounted in its default location, if the user specified
location is not valid.
** Affects: gnome-volume-manager (Ubuntu)
