From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/412.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/412.2 Description of problem: On a i386 workstation under Fedora Core 4 with a Maxoptix T5-2600 magnetic optical drive attached to an Adaptec AHA-7850 scsi controller, lshal doesn't report any information on the Maxoptix drive. This appears to prevent the gnome volume manager from automatically adding an entry to the fstab and automount optical media when inserted into the drive. The device appears in the scsi proc entry as... cat /proc/scsi/scsi .... Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: Maxoptix Model: T5-2600 Rev: A6.9 Type: Optical Device ANSI SCSI revision: 02 I am able to use this device currently by adding... BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}=="Maxoptix", NAME{all_partitions}="maxoptix" ...to /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules and adding... /dev/maxoptix8 /media/optical xfs noauto,rw,pamconsole 0 0 This allows me to mount legacy XFS format optical disks from Irix under Fedora Core 4 by double clicking the optical icon in Nautilus or using the usermount program. It would be nicer if I could expect the optical media to automount on insertion like cdrom and cdrecorder devices do. Also from my understanding of hal and the gnome volume manager, it should be able to detect XFS formatted media and mount it, right? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.5.2-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 4 on a i386 workstation with a scsi controller 2. Attach a Maxoptix optical drive such as the T5-2600 3. Reboot with the Maxoptix optical drive powered on and execute "lshal | grep Maxoptix" Actual Results: I saw no entries for the Maxoptix drive despite it showing up in /proc/scsi/scsi and being usable when manually configured as described above. Expected Results: lshal should have reported an entry for the Maxoptix optical drive and when I inserted XFS format optical media into the drive, it should have been automatically mounted on the Gnome Desktop by the Gnome Volume Manager without the need to modify the fstab and udev local.rules manually. Additional info:
I should mention that fixing this bug will make the transition easier for folks moving off of Irix to Linux.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
Fedora Core 4 is no longer maintained. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you can reproduce this bug in the current Fedora release, please reopen this bug and assign it to the corresponding Fedora version.
