From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Anaconda configured my IDE ZIP drive as /dev/hdd4 in /etc/fstab, and created the mount point /mnt/zip100.0. I am using zip discs with an ext2 filesystem, so I changed the entry in /etc/fstab to /dev/hdd, and changed the mount point to /mnt/zip so its easier to type. After rebooting the system, kudzu revoked the /dev/hdd entry in /etc/fstab and added a /dev/hdd4 entry back in, and it unlinked /mnt/zip and recreated /mnt/zip100.0. I tried removing the "kudzu" option from the device line in /etc/fstab, and this prevented kudzu from revoking the /dev/hdd entry and unlinking /mnt/zip, but it does not prevent kudzu from adding a /dev/hdd4 entry to /etc/fstab, which does not work with discs formatted with the ext2 file system. It also appears that invalid device symlinks (/dev/hdd4, in this case) in $HOME/.gnome-disktop cause Gnome to drop panel properties when rescanning desktop devices, but this is difficult to reproduce, so I will file a seperate bug report for it when I get it narrowed down more. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a /dev/hdd entry to /etc/fstab and create /mnt/zip 2. Reboot the system. Actual Results: The /dev/hdd entry in /etc/fstab is revoked and /mnt/zip is unlinked. Expected Results: /etc/ftab and /mnt/zip should have remained unchanged.
Please try ftp://people.redhat.com/ewt/updfstab.gz You'll need to: gunzip updfstab.gz cp ./updfstab /usr/sbin/updfstab To see if it works. You can run "updfstab --test" to see the fstab it wants to output. Please let me know if this works. I reproduced the problem here w/o any trouble, and this fixed it.
Yes, this works great. I uncommented the call to updfstab in /etc/rc.d/init.d/kudzu and rebooted, /etc/fstab remained unmolested.
Fixed in CVS -- fix will be included in the next build of kudzu.
