Public bug reported:
Hi
If I attempt to create a custom mount point for a removable drive as
follows, and enter the full path I want the drive mounted at (e.g.
"/media/compactflash") this input is accepted, but then the drive canot
be mounted.
As I have discovered, what is required is simply the last part of the
mount point location (e.g. "compactflash" in this case), but this is not
clear from the properties dialogue and no validation is done on the
input.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert removable disk
2. Right click on disk icon on desktop, select properties
3. In drive tab, under "Mount Point" add a full directory, e.g.
"/media/compactflash")
4. Click close
5. Right click and eject disk
6. Re-insert disk
Result:
error: "moint_point cannot contain the following characters: newline,
G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)"
Expected behaviour:
properties dialogue should have validated input and rejected invalid
mountpoint
Thanks
Matthew
