Description Ludwig Nussel 2006-02-20 10:42:57 UTC

following up a discussion on the opensuse list ... hal and the kde/gnome applets can handle all disks by themselves so the /data mountpoints are not really needed anymore. Moreover if the 'refuse-to-mount-disks-in-fstab' patch is applied the icons will be still there (the gui has no way to find out by means of hal) but if the user clicks on them hal will tell permission denied.
So disabling the code in yast that assigns /data (and /windows) mountpoints is the way to go IMO.

I'm redirecting this to Thomas.

Comment 2 Thomas Fehr 2006-03-13 15:13:41 UTC

Project management has to decide about removal of the /data and /windows
mount points.

Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2006-03-13 15:22:25 UTC

just for reference: I'm all for it

Comment 4 Andreas Jaeger 2006-03-13 15:41:30 UTC

How much work is this?

Thorsten, what's your idea on it?

Comment 5 Thorsten Kukuk 2006-03-13 15:43:43 UTC

I never liked the /data mountpoints.

I found the /windows mountpoints quite usefull, espeically with wine or so.

Comment 6 Thomas Fehr 2006-03-13 15:51:23 UTC

Removing the either /windows or /data mount points (or both) is not much work.

Comment 7 Stephan Kulow 2006-03-13 17:15:13 UTC

yeah, /windows(/C) might be useful also for beagle which looks there for your "old data"

Comment 8 Andreas Jaeger 2006-03-13 20:33:54 UTC

Ok, there's consensus to remove /data.

I guess we should keep /windows for now.

Ok with everybody?

Comment 9 Thomas Fehr 2006-03-14 17:49:06 UTC

Should be fixed in RC1
