I'm puzzled why you added that to your fstab if it works without it ? I didn't - hotplug does. And it puts the managed entry in so it knows to pull it out of fstab when the device is removed. mount is broken. It should be stripping out 'managed' before it even gets passed to the kernel. You need a sufficiently new version of util-linux for this; 2.12a-16 (as shipped with FC3) or later is known to work. |
Description of problem: Even though hotplug recognizes my flash drive and inserts an entry into /etc/fstab for it, I am unable to mount it without manually editting the fstab entry. The 'managed' keyword is not recognized by the DOS filesystem, and so it fails to mount. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug in flash drive 2. Verify /etc/fstab entry: /dev/sda /media/FLASH vfat user,exec,noauto,iocharset=utf8,noatime,sync,managed 0 0 3. Attempt to mount $ mount /media/FLASH/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems 4. Check dmseg FAT: Unrecognized mount option "managed" or missing value Actual results: Unable to mount drive Expected results: Able to mount Additional info: I have gotten this to work by modifying the dos filesystem - I think modified the fat_tokens entries in fs/fat/inode.c to include "managed", and then stuck a check for it in the case statement in parse_options() just below, but it's been a while, so I can't remember for certain. Perhaps there's a simpler method to fix this though.
