Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 186864
RELNOTES - Summarize the release note suggestion/content
Last modified: 2007-04-18 13:40:44 EDT
Provide details here. Do not change the blocking bug. The use of gnome-mount is promoted as a benefit, yet there is no documentation, either in the release notes, online docs, or even google that says anything about what, if any, benefits gnome-mount provides. nor of how to use it. Is this a "Gnome users needn't know what they are doing" kind of usability thing, or what?
Release notes only capture minimal information on the changes better releases. gnome-mount as specified in the overview uses HAL which enables it to set policy based on the administrator and better flexibility. The references in the release summary can help you better http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC5ReleaseSummary
Thanks for the pointer. At least the bit about ">From a 50,000 feet perspective I think the requirements are like this" ... "b) An easy way for relatively experienced sysadmins to grasp how the system works and how to configure privilege policy [1]" in http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2006-January/004377.html gives me hope of chasing down my real quest: to be able to have my (external, Firewire) backup disc mounted by a script at reboot time after a UPS initiated shutdown without anyone being logged in.
