iPod not mounted automagically in beta3
Last modified: 2007-06-05 11:04:17 UTC
Up until beta3, submount mounted my iPod mini automagically when it was plugged in. As of beta3, it no longer does so; it remains unmounted until I mount it manually ("mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /media/ipod"). I'm having this problem on two different machines (ThinkPads, an R31 and a T42p).
pleas attach this (as attachment): * output of 'lshal' with plugged in ipod * part of /var/log/messages since plug in the ipod
Same problem here - with all FireWire disks... sbp2 doesn't get loaded automatically. After modload sbp2 the devices don't get mounted by submount.
Created attachment 48321 [details] output of lshal
Created attachment 48325 [details] /var/log/messages that's /from boot until after the sbp2 was loaded manually. The fwdisk "Dicke Berta" shows up on the desktop, but iPod volume doesn't. It's also not in mount list. message is a bit larger, because I'm hunting a problem with ieee and partitions larger than 128GB...
I'm using USB rather than FireWire, FWIW. Attachments to follow...

looking over the lshal output, we see that the ipod volumes do not have hald-block-subfs added to the callouts list and so it is being left up to g-v-m to mount the devices. BUT g-v-m isn't able to mount them because there are no entries in /etc/fstab.
to #8: yes I know. This is a bug in HAL fdi-file (10-usb-music-players.fdi) which break the storage.policy keys completly by this change: from: <merge key="info.category" type="string">storage</merge> to: <merge key="info.category" type="string">portable_audio_player</merge> I fix this in HAL cvs and for SL 10.0 rc1
