Following the conversation at: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5175073.html After upgrade to hal-0.5.11-r1 and app-misc/hal-info-20080508, suddenly a partion which is mounted from my fstab is appearing on the nautilus desktop. The partion is: /dev/sda5 /usr/portage reiserfs noatime,notail 0 0 This should not be appearing on the desktop. The drive is mounted correctly as seen in the output of mount: /dev/sda7 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,size=10240k,mode=755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw,noatime) /dev/sda6 on /usr type reiserfs (rw,noatime) /dev/sda5 on /usr/portage type reiserfs (rw,noatime,notail) /dev/sda8 on /var type reiserfs (rw,noatime) /dev/sda9 on /home type reiserfs (rw,noatime,user_xattr) none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,devmode=0664,devgid=85) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) Downgrading to sys-apps/hal-0.5.9.1-r3 and app-misc/hal-info-20070618 makes the drive correctly disappear. I would not expect this drive to be visible with hal-0.5.11-r1 on the desktop (It should and is mounted normally at /usr/portage). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 162384 [details] fstab on the system - only sda5 is showing this behaviour
Created attachment 162386 [details] emerge --info
It's a feature not a bug. HAL will export all partitions that it finds to a system now. configure your system via fdi files or gnome-volume-manager or natuilus.
If this is the case then I would expect to see all the local drives appearing. Instead it is just the /usr/portage drive.
