Hi,
I have 1.0 and am testing the device management features of gmc. If you
"rescan mountable devices" from the desktop menu, gmc will check the /mnt
directory and put the devices it finds there on the desktop. They all
have "mount/eject" options on their menus, and a double click will mount
the device automaticly. Very nice.
Now mounting a CD works fine, but when I go to unmount it I recieve
the error message "umount: /dev/hdc is not in fstab (and you are not
root)."
I wonder if anyone else has seen this and what setup they have used to
fix it.
The /dev/cdrom entry looks like this.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 28 13:07 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
The /dev/hdc entry:
brw-rw-r-- 1 root disk 22, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/hdc
My fstab file:
/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda5 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
#Removable drives
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660
noauto,ro,user,exec
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto
noauto,sync,user,exec
Thanks,
-FDS
