Package: hal Version: 0.5.7-1 Severity: normal I'm using testing. Since a few days ago, when I insert my usb stick with a filesystem called "Mr. Brown", it no longer gets mounted at "/media/Mr. Brown", and instead gets mounted at "/media/sda1" (or whatever the device file happens to be). This breaks various scripts and other setups of mine that rely on a deterministic name for that particular usb stick.
I was told by piman on IRC that this seems to be because /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-mount checks that the label is acceptable, and since the label contains a space, it isn't acceptable. It used to be, without any ill effects, so I think the new stricter rule is harmful, and would like to see it reverted. Note that although I can change the name for this particular filesystem, if it had been a read-only medium, such as an optical disk, I could not have. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.85 Add and remove users and groups ii dbus 0.61-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libc6 2.3.6-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdbus-1-2 0.61-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.61-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal1 0.5.7-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.11-4 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.0-15 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii pciutils 1:2.1.11-15.3 Linux PCI Utilities ii udev 0.085-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.71+cvs20051029-4 USB console utilities hal recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
