Re: undesired Volume icons on Gnome desktop
Hello,
I've also got this problem, partitions on my hard drive are showing up
on my desktop and in the "Computer" nautilus window after a recent etch
upgrade. This happens when I am logged in as a normal user.
For reference, my fstab hard drive information is:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda2 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda9 /mnt/archive ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hda10 /mnt/lab-backups ext3 defaults 0 0
The partitions that show up on the desktop are hda9 and hda10, labeled
"archive" and "backups", which are their ext2 filesystem labels. A ls
-lh of the /mnt directory gives the following permissions:
# ls -lh /mnt
total 8.0K
drwxr-xr-x 5 jbeach jbeach 4.0K 2006-03-17 16:41 archive
drwxr-xr-x 3 rmtback backup 4.0K 2006-02-23 18:53 lab-backups
The "archive" and "backups" partitions also show up in the "Computer"
window, along with partitions labeled "/1" (label for hda8, which is not
in fstab), "/boot" (label for hda2), and "/home" (label for hda6).
I'm not sure if this is a new feature which I can adjust to remove the
unwanted icons, or if this is a bug. If it is a feature, could someone
tell me how to turn it off?

Hello List,
after my daily upgrade on my Etch box,
I have two undesired Volume icons (besides my Home icon
and the Computer icon) on my desktop:
I guess that I have to configure something to avoid
their apparence as the `native' volumes do not appaer
in sch a way, but I do not know where to look for.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance,
Jerome
