Hi, yeah, that change was sort of intentional because it would ensure stable mount points (e.g. the mount point would be the same every time the storage device / disk was inserted). But someone managed to convince me the UUID names was not friendly enough partly because it is still shown in the UI. We will, however, use the file system label if it meets certain criteria (it must exist, it must be ASCII, must not an absolute filesystem path). This fix is in hal-0.4.0-3. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041012 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: When upgrading to hal-0.4.0-2 all the devices formerly named idedisk[x] changed name to a strange string of characters and integers (for example "5ed3dc74-bdfa-4463-8a4d-036d7e5263cf"). Reverting back to hal-0.2.98.cvs20040929-3 fixes the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.4.0-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install hal-0.4.0-2 2. change directory to /media 3. Read the names of the directories there Actual Results: found devices is having very unfriendly names. Expected Results: Found devices should be named as before ("idedisk", "idedisk1", etc.).
