Bug 149777 – NetMount unmounts FUSE filesystems by default not all FUSE file systems require network connectivity

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description John Polansky 2006-10-01 13:59:39 UTC]

I have a dual boot system (windows / gentoo) I use captive.ntfs to mount my NTFS partitions under linux. I noticed that when I'm using wireless network that my NTFS mounts kept being mysteriously unmounted and all apps using them would die (for example Amarok and my mp3s on the NTFS partition) with investigating I found that what was happening was when my wireless network reattaches itself to the access point it reruns the net.eth0  rcscript which inturn causes netmount stop to be run. Netmount uses a static list of filesystems including FUSE and Unmounts all of these assuming that they are no longer useful since the network connection is gone.Problem is that my ntfs partitions although FUSE are not network related and work just fine with or without network connection.I've resolved this problem temporarily by editing the functions.sh and removing fuse from the NET_FS_LIST obviously this isn't the best way as most of the other FUSE filesystems are network based. Obviously the best way would be to check the FUSE system to find out if it's using a local filesystem like /dev/sda2 like mine is and ignoring that one since it's local. Problem is that netmount just blanket unmounts all FUSE partitions without regard so it will need to be modified as well. I hope this helps.

Don't restrict bugs without any reason. Just leave the checkboxes alone.
