No, it's a bug if tools can't handle spaces in mount points. Did you even read the bug? |
Description of problem: Arguably this is a nit, but it is probably worth mentioning. When you insert a DVD it gets automouted at a point that has spaces in it. That's fine if you're just using the graphical browse tool. However, if you want to use something else (i.e. I wanted to do a xen guest OS install, so needed the local mount point), the actual mount point is misleading to the eyes if you look at the "mount" output. Here's what I captured with ps for the automount part: > root 5082 3380 0 12:52 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/hal-storage-mount > root 5083 5082 0 12:52 ? 00:00:00 /bin/mount -t iso9660 -o noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=11277,noatime,utf8 /dev/hda /media/FC-6 x86_64 DVD Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -qf /usr/libexec/hal-storage-mount hal-0.5.8.1-17.el5 hal-0.5.8.1-17.el5 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: # mount | grep media /dev/hda on /media/FC-6 x86_64 DVD type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=11277,utf8) Expected results: Output from "mount" that is not easy to fool the eyes - maybe use underscores or dashes instead of spaces?
