Description Ferry Huberts 2011-06-06 16:24:31 UTC

Description of problem:
Mountpoints that are under /media and are defined in /etc/fstab are deleted on shutdown/reboot

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd.x86_64 26-2.fc15

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put a mountpoint in /etc/fstab like:
  storage:/media/Data1 /media/Data1 nfs defaults,noauto,users,bg 0 0
2. create the mountpoint, for the example: /media/Data1
3. optionally mount
4. reboot
  
Actual results:
mountpoint /media/Data1 is gone

Expected results:
mountpoint /media/Data1 must still be there


Additional info:
I _have_ to place the mountpoint under /media otherwise I can't use it from nautilus. Placing it under /mnt will result in the mountpoint not showing up in nautilus.

Comment 1 Michal Schmidt 2011-06-06 16:46:49 UTC

It disappears because /media is a tmpfs. Putting statically defined mountpoints there goes against the purpose of /media (which is for removable media).
If nautilus has a problem with it, it should be fixed there.

As an ugly workaround perhaps you could have it created after every boot using a fragment in /etc/tmpfiles.d (I haven't tried it). Or just mkdir and mount it from /etc/rc.local.

Comment 2 Ferry Huberts 2011-06-06 16:59:08 UTC

ok, fair enough.
sorry for not checking tmpfs.

what to do now?
reassign to nautilus? with a different title?
something like 'mountpoints under /mnt in /etc/fstab do not show up' ?

I suggest you make it a new bug against nautilus. The title should be fine.

You can still browse to /mnt with nautilus... you might want to generate bookmarks for quick access.

Comment 5 Ferry Huberts 2011-06-17 10:13:09 UTC

yes. I've done that.
but then I still have to open up a terminal to actually mount it...

compared to F14 this is a _regression_

Comment 6 Harald Hoyer 2011-06-17 12:45:15 UTC

another solution would be, to add the directories to /etc/tmpfiles.d/
$ man tmpfiles.d
