Bug#447491: Access to external devices from the desktop is broken when using UUID
Package: kdebase
Severity: normal
I have an external USB drive. In order for it to always have the same
mountpoint, I used its UUID in /etc/fstab :
UUID=fc264689-4306-4adf-bc9e-862fd642c3c9 /media/usb1 auto
rw,user,noauto 0 0
I then created a new device on my KDE desktop to access it. Here is the
content :
[Desktop Entry]
Dev=UUID=fc264689-4306-4adf-bc9e-862fd642c3c9
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=hdd_mount
MountPoint=/media/usb1
ReadOnly=false
Type=FSDevice
UnmountIcon=hdd_unmount
If I try to mount it, the icon will not change. If I try to access the
disk by clicking on the device, it complains saying the device is either
unmounted or busy and then fails. However, if I go to /media/usb1, I can
see
it has
worked, as the disk is now mounted. So, 3 things do not work as expected
:
1/ The icon does not change when I mount the disk
2/ There should be no error message as the disk is mounted
3/ I cannot access the disk from the desktop
