Actually, I doubt it's got _anything_ to do with fstab, but I could be
wrong. All of these devices _are_ reported by hal (kde-hal-device-manager
is useful), except that the partition now shown as "music" in media: is
shown as "root" by hal - this is also correct, as I think that partition
was once another Linux installation. What I can't figure out is why it's
being treated differently from the other two partitions shown. They show
as mounted, "music" does not, though attempting to mount it tells me it's
already mounted.
The whole hal/udev business was implemented with _way_ too little available
documentation.
