Description Jan Rüegg 2008-04-05 06:26:54 UTC
Before the update, I could see these nfsshares under computer:/// (even if they were not mounted) and after mounting them they had some sort of special "network share symbol".
Now they're gone, and when I mount one manually from the command line (mount /media/Synology) they are shown in gnome as "normal" partitions, like my ext3 etc partitions.

my fstab entry:
192.168.1.234:/volume1/public   /media/Synology nfs     rw,user,soft,noauto     0       0

Reproducible: Always




I'm running a gentoo amd64 unstable system:

Comment 1 Sumit Khanna 2008-04-11 01:24:46 UTC
I am having the exact same problem after the gnome update. I restarted dbus/hal (which restarts X) and still had the same problem. I tried reboot, same problem. 

I don't have any NFS shares anymore, but even my local drives that are marked as such in fstab:

/dev/sdc1		/mnt/orion     jfs        defaults,user        0 2 
/dev/sde1		/mnt/alpha_centauri jfs   defaults,user  0 2
/dev/sdd1               /mnt/saturn    jfs        defaults,user  0 2

...they no longer show up.

Easy, don't put them in the fstab. HAL will then pick them up.

@Herd, we should probably add a note in the Upgrade Guide, shouldn't we? Just vote "Aye" or "Nay" and I'll write it there. :)
Comment 3 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-12 14:02:58 UTC
Same here obviously, it stopped showing custom mountpoints and only shows HAL provided information. Workaround would probably be to describe those volumes in some hal fdi files but...

So is there no possibility anymore, to show these NFS-shares anymore in gnome? Or do I just have to configure it elsewhere now?
Comment 5 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-13 09:31:16 UTC
not as far as I know. I haven't had time to dig upstream's bugzilla but didn't see anything about this on the mailing list.
Comment 6 Sumit Khanna 2008-04-24 04:03:45 UTC
This really makes no sense at all. If I leave them out of fstab, yes they show up, but if the system did not shut down correctly, it is impossible to mount them without opening a terminal and fscking them manually as root. 

I found this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-376318.html

But the xml segment they talk about in the thread doesn't exist on my Gentoo box. The word "fstab" doesn't appear anywhere in the file 20-storage-methods.fdi 
Comment 7 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-28 23:28:26 UTC
adding gentopia people to see if comment #6 has anything that could concern hal in gentoo. From the test I did, nothing in the thread changed anything but since I'm no hal expert :)
Comment 8 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-29 04:16:39 UTC
HAL doesn't get involved in NFS at all.

Comment #6 (and comment #1) actually refer to local mounts too.
Comment 10 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-05 20:30:33 UTC
and there goes the upstream bug.
Comment 11 Alexandre Ghisoli 2008-07-01 15:25:00 UTC
There is 2 _differents_ issues here : 

1/ Show up local HDD mount. The answer is use HAL instead of fstab. But the rules are not easy to setup.

2/ NFS mount point, as HAL is not used in this area. Upstream bug seems to exist, but not so many activity :
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536292

Should this bug be splitted ?
Comment 12 Alexandre Ghisoli 2008-11-17 13:46:50 UTC
This is not a bug, but a feature ...

Look at this upstream repport :
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520736#c1

In short, if you want to see your NFS share, you have to move them from /mnt (or any other mountpoint) to /media (aka edit your /etc/fstab).

This is the only way to see the NFS mountpoint under computer:/// in Nautilus.

I really didnt like to be forced to use a "standard and unique" mount point for my drives, I think it's a loss in term of usability (you have to mount everything in /media then symlink your drives if you want it mounted somewhere else).

On my computer with gnome-base/gvfs-1.0.2, it's working like it's explained here.

Hope this helps

I can confirm that moving mountpoints to /media/ works also for local devices, I did as you said : I moved my mountpoint from /mnt/data to /media/data and since I set a particular dir in /mnt/data to be exported with nfs I made a simlynk from /mnt/data to /media/data so I didn't need to change nfs exports .

*** Bug 251790 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 15 Michael Stather 2008-12-21 16:24:19 UTC
But local mounts which aren't in fstab still don't work out-of-the-box with the automated stages. Even if gentoo is about configuring, this should IMO work without doing anything, like in other distros.
Comment 16 Sumit Khanna 2008-12-23 13:51:55 UTC
I can confirm that moving the mount points for NFS connections in my fstab to /media allowed for those NFS mounts to show up in Nautilus. I too made sym links from /mnt to /media. 

Using /media does make sense since it's what hal/dbus use for all dynamic drives and it's a more human understandable name for desktop aimed distributions than /mnt. It'd just be nice if this was documented somewhere other than this bug.

I agree with you, this fact should be reported in a gnome migration guide (from 2.20->2.22)

on nautilus-2.24 neither using /media instead of /mnt works for local filesystems : I added this line to mine /etc/fstab :

/dev/sda1               /media/win      ntfs-3g         noauto,rw,user,users,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-15,utf8     0 0

using terminal I can mount/umount /media/win but in computer:// when /media/win is unmounted I cannot see the win Icon, I can see it only after a mount (using terminal) , and if I unmount it disappears again . For me it is a regression respect 2.22 .

this has been fixed in development version of nautilus. Not sure of easy it is to backport this yet.

Removing fdo-bugs from CC since there is no need to bother them.
Comment 22 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-28 21:02:34 UTC
The fix is now available in overlay, most likely needs gvfs[gdu] for those who cares. Thanks for watching.
