Description Ulrich Windl 2005-10-24 07:15:33 UTC

Release notes suggest to mount removable devices async by using the volume.uuid
and lshal. However the uuids aren't unique. Specifically some volumes have an
empty volume.uuid:
> lshal |grep volume.uuid
lshal version 0.5.4
  volume.uuid = ''  (string)
  volume.uuid = ''  (string)
  volume.uuid = '3f832370-4f7c-4a1a-bc2b-d9162dce0a14'  (string)
  volume.uuid = ''  (string)

This happens because the device has no volume uuid (see: http://cvs.freedesktop.org/*checkout*/hal/hal/doc/spec/hal-spec.html for volume.uuid).
