Try this 'gnome-mount -v -t -b -d /dev/sde1' and paste the output (ensure sde1 isn't mounted before trying it) Here you go $ gnome-mount -v -t -b -d /dev/sde1 gnome-mount 0.8 ** (gnome-mount:26946): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_FC30_3DA9 ** (gnome-mount:26946): DEBUG: read mount point '/media/CompactFlash' from gconf string key '/system/storage/drives/_org_freedesktop_Hal_devices_storage_serial_Generic_USB_CF_Reader_058F63626376_0_1/mount_point' ** (gnome-mount:26946): DEBUG: read default option 'shortname=lower' from gconf strlist key /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options ** (gnome-mount:26946): DEBUG: read default option 'uid=' from gconf strlist key /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options ** (gnome-mount:26946): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_FC30_3DA9 with mount_point='/media/CompactFlash', fstype='', num_options=2 ** (gnome-mount:26946): DEBUG: option='shortname=lower' ** (gnome-mount:26946): DEBUG: option='uid=500' ** Message: Mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_FC30_3DA9 org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure : mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /) > ** (gnome-mount:26946): DEBUG: read mount point '/media/CompactFlash' from
gconf string key
From the gnome-mount man page
-m, --mount-point
Specify mount point to use; don’t include /media as this is
automatically appened by the mechanism used to mount, e.g. the
HAL methods.
Maybe you set the mount point from the Nautilus extension UI (which I agree is
somewhat suboptimal / crappy but that's a separate bug and partly why it's not
in the default install) and it didn't warn you that slash isn't allowed.
Just changing the key from /media/CompactFlash to CompactFlash should work. Or
better, just delete the gconf bits for this drive and just change the fs label
to be CompactFlash. Then this will work automatically without having to mess
around with gconf settings and whatnot.
Hope this helps.

Since I never saw the extension you talk of and besides never had a compact flash media before I sort of doubt I added this key manually, but whatever added it is gone now and removing the gconf key works, thank you very much. |
