To clarify, this is an issue if you use autofs with hundreds or thousands of automount entries in autofs map. Based on my understanding, there are two simple ways to resolve this problem while maintaining a good user experience for flash drives and the like:
1) We can specify an inclusive list of directories (eg. /media, /mnt) to show on the desktop and not show any others 2) We can specify a list of commonly used autofs directories (/auto, /home, /net, /vol, etc) to blacklist I'm personally in favor of #1, as I believe all "user" mounts already go to one of these two directories and removes the need to catch all of the edge cases (eg. /misc, /exports, etc) that people might have. This would solve the problem I am seeing as well as the one that Matthew has reported. If it's possible to expose this to the end user via a gconf option as a list of directories to include/exclude, some of the implementation details would be taken off of your hands. -- gnome displays nfs mounts on the desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
