Description William Shotts 2006-02-19 18:53:20 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060210 Fedora/1.5.0.1-3 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Description of problem:
Unlike other devices, when a floppy is unmounted its mount point in /media is not removed.  This seems to cause problems for both KDE and GNOME regarding floppy mounting.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hal-0.5.7-0.cvs20060213.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using a file manager (Konqueror or Nautilus) mount a floppy
2. Note creation of mount point in /media 
3. Unmount floppy in file manager
  

Actual Results:  Mount point remains after floppy is unmounted

Expected Results:  Mount point is removed

Additional info:

Additional attempts to mount floppy results in build up of mount points.  Further, Konqueror never offers an unumount option for the floppy.

Comment 1 David Zeuthen 2006-02-20 17:13:04 UTC

Does 'gnome-umount --block --no-ui --device /dev/fd0' do the right thing?

Comment 2 William Shotts 2006-02-20 17:33:30 UTC

Yes. 'gnome-umount --block --no-ui --device /dev/fd0' unmounts it and removes
the mount point in /media.

Comment 3 David Zeuthen 2006-02-20 17:40:25 UTC

Right.. we need a small patch for gnome-vfs to do the right thing. Shouldn't be
terribly difficult, we just need gnome-vfs to use gnome-mount when the
GnomeVFSDrive is known by hal but the GnomeVFSVolume isn't. 

I don't know how the KDE bits work, someone needs to open a separate bug for
these bits as I'm reassigning this bug to gnome-vfs2.

Comment 4 David Zeuthen 2006-02-21 17:57:32 UTC

I've posted a patch to upstream here

Comment 5 David Zeuthen 2006-02-25 00:25:26 UTC

Patch mentioned in comment 4 is now upstream. Will be included in new gnome-vfs2
packages sometime next week.

*** Bug 182693 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 7 Matthias Clasen 2006-03-01 13:14:28 UTC

The patch mentioned in comment #4 is in gnome-vfs2-2.13.92, so I assume this is
fixed.

Comment 8 Michal Jaegermann 2006-03-01 16:26:00 UTC

Yes, indeed, it looks that this works now as expected.
