Created attachment 2658 use hal desired mount point Hey, not so long ago I told you about some debian users which were cooking a patch to implement the “preferred hal mount point” stuff. They did manage to cleanup their patches so I'm attaching them here. But they don't have time to handle the submission at the moment, so if you have any question regarding this, I'm adding them to CC: and they'll handle it when they have time. Cheers,
Created attachment 2659 auto_mount.patch (?)
Ok in fact I can't add an email from a non user to the bug report so I'll warn them. Cheers.
Those patches has been in use here at O.S. Systems for a while.
I can't get a clue what those patches should do. A desired_mount_point variable is used, but it is never set anywhere, it *looks* is is against exo-mount, but i see function names that are not in our code. So explain what the patch should do. Read the volume.policy.desired_mount_point property?
Hello, Sorry but I fail to remember all the details for it; we've been using those patches to fix issues we had in our thinclient OS (that uses pcmanfm) with automounting. The issues we had are: - it failed to respect the hal preference of mounting point (if set) - pcmanfm failed to properly call the mounting routines resulting in it raising an error if the path doesn't exist instead of handling it and creating it back With those it works fine.

Basically it's just a crappy embedded code copy. If you want to improve exo, then do it against exo, not pcmanfm. If you want to improve pcmanfm, then report to pcmanfm people (and even better, tell them to use exo directly instead :) ). Cheers,
I didn't know and to be sincere I didn't worry about it. At that time I was interested in fixing my problem and so I did. Well; the patches are here; use it or drop it all ;-) Anyway, thanks by looking at it. Cheers,
