Package: kdesktop Version: 4:3.2.2-1 Severity: normal I had a device icon on my KDE desktop for a removable HD (USB stick) partition, /dev/sda1 on /keycard, user mount available.
Eventually, the system /etc/fstab was changed so that /keycard was now associated with /dev/sda5: /dev/sda5 /keycard ext3 rw,user,noauto,nosuid 0 0 After that, attempt to mount the fs using the icon caused /keycard to be mounted from /dev/sda5, yet no mount indication was shown on the icon, and it was impossible to umount the disk via the icon. Changing the device in the icon properties/device tab from sda1 to sda5 restored the icon back to normal. This had to be repeated for all users that had such an icon on their desktop. I find this behavior inconsistent. Either mount should not proceed at all (because there is no /dev/sda1 on /keycard user mount available any more), or, if what matters is just the mount point (i.e. the icon is following /etc/fstab), there should be no device association stored with the icon, just the mount point, and the device should be looked up from /etc/fstab. Personally, I would prefer the latter behavior as it is more consistent with the centralized mountpoint to device mapping via the fstab. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.25-1-686 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R Versions of packages kdesktop depends on: ii kdebase-bin 4:3.2.2-1 KDE Base (binaries) ii kdelibs4 4:3.2.2-2 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-5 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.7.0-5 client library to control the FAM ii libgcc1 1:3.3.4-1 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkonq4 4:3.2.2-1 Core libraries for KDE's file mana ii libpcre3 4.5-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-6 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.2.3-2 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.4-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1.1-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
