I changed my system to RAID-0 and during this process Xfce started showing a partition of my harddisk (hda12) as removable device. After the conversion to raid was finished, Xfce still shows the drive, but it is not existing anymore (since it is now an md device). If I try to mount it in Xfce, an error message comes up, that the drive is not mountable (which is of course correct, because it is used in a raid now).
xfdesktop just takes the list thunar-vfs gives it...
*** Bug 3561 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This is from my report in bug 3561 (duplicated), is a tip that i got with HAL developers of how to solve this problem: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Talking with HAL developers, they said the only devices that need to be show in desktop are the one with volume.fsusage=filesystem. The LVM PVs have volume.fsusage=raid. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Thunar-vfs needs to know first what kind of volume.fsusage is that storage device, and only show volume.fsusage=filesystem. It will solve the problem with RAID and with LVM devices.
Fixed with revision 26396. 2007-11-28 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-volume-hal.c: Ignore volumes that do not mountable file systems. Bug #3555.
