Public bug reported: Hi!
There are some usb pen drives or mobile phones which act like an usb pen drive (example: lg kg320s, lg chocolate, etc) but does not have a partition table on it. It can be mounted (as root) with the following command: mount /dev/sda /mnt/pen An ordinary usb pen drive has partition table and vfat partition on it, it can be mounted with the following command: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/pen The problem, that in /etc/fstab can't be two different device with the same path. So I /dev/sda cant be coexists with /dev/sda1. Khiraly ps: 1. Im not sure is util-linux package, but since it provides the mount command I think it belongs to it. (what is creating /etc/fstab at installation?) 2. Its not ubuntu specific problem, every linux distribution suffers of it. ** Affects: util-linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- can't mount automatically different usb drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113041 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
