[Bug 73227] Re: [feisty] some partitions do not appear in Places menu

[Florent Mertens]

Sorry Nicolò Chieffo if i change to much your description of the bug,
but it was to make it more clear.

Regards,

Flo

** Description changed:

- I'm using feisty. In the drivemount applet and in the places menu, the
- only thing that appears is the cdrom. after restarting the dbus daemon
- (after hardware abstraction layer), every partition is shown correctly!
+ In feisty, volumes that are mounted from fstab with the options
+ "defaults" and/or "auto" are ignored and in consequence don't show up in
+ place and in computer://
  
- dbus version 1.0.1-2ubuntu1
+ This is a different behavior from dapper or edgy, where all partitions,
+ mounted or not, where present in /etc/fstab. People were used to that
+ and it was IMO a good behavior.
  
- Unfortunately, after restarting dbus Suspend and hibernate disappear
- from the shut down menu
+ I also don't see why we should ignore those volumes.
+ And if there is a reason, the rule is wrong cause a volume could be mounted with or without the "defaults" option with no change for the user, but with a different behavior in the desktop.
+ 
+ I suggest that we remove those bits from the ignored_volume patch :
+      <!-- Ignore fixed partitions which are automatically mounted from fstab -->
+       <match key="linux.fstab.mountpoint" exists="true">
+         <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
+         <match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="defaults">
+           <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
+         </match>
+         <match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="auto">
+           <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
+         </match>
+         <match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="noauto">
+           <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
+         </match>
+       </match>
