I have marked the bug as confirmed since I was able to reproduce it on
three different computers.
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: mountall
+ Binary package hint: nautilus
What happens:
- 1. In the Gnome panel I click on Places and I see two folders that I have
mounted in fstab with
- bind /.../a to /.../b
- bind /.../a to /.../c
- 2. When I click either of these folders I get the following error (with
different destination path):
- Error
- Unable to mount MyDocuments
- mount: according to mtab, /media/E/MyDocuments is already mounted on
/home/username/MyDocuments
+ 1. mount a folder a to point b with the -bind option in /etc/fstab, for
example:
+ /media/data /home/username/MyDocuments none
bind,user=username,group=username 0 0
+ 2. reboot and then open nautilus
+ 3. nautilus will show the new mount point in the places sidebar but it will
give you an error if you click on the mount point:
+ Unable to mount MyDocuments
+ mount: according to mtab, /media/data is already mounted on
/home/username/MyDocuments
mount failed
What should happen:
- Since these binds are specified in fstab it should not be necessary to mount
them at all since they get mounted automatically at boot time. Therefore these
entries are unneccessary in the Places menu and should be removed.
+ 1. nautilus should not show these binded folders since they are well
accessible through the filesystem
+ 2. if the mounted folder (e.g. /mount/data) is a block device then it will
appear in the places sidebar anyway and thus it is not necessary to show the
mount point again
+ 3. if the mounted folder is a normal folder from an existing file system then
its accessible both from the original location and the newly binded location,
thus the is no need to show it in places again
+ 4. this is quite annoying
+
+ Additional Information:
+ This bug persists in Lucid
