Hi, I just made a very stupid mistake of running 'fstab-sync -c', since there was no 'dynamic' devices attached to my system I just thought it would be safe. But I forgot that CDROM (/media/cdrecorder) and floppy (/media/floppy) was one of this dynamic devices. Fortunately for me I just backed up my fstab and I could restore it, but there is still some unwanted behaviour. When you have no floppy nor CDROM in your drives and you open the Computer window, do you see the floppy and CDROM icons? I just get the normal volume icon for both of them and only when mounting them is when they change the icon for a floppy or CDROM. I don't recall the original behaviour. I created two extra partitions in fstab: /mnt/c (vfat) and /mnt/media (ext3) and they were working ok. but after my stupid mistake they behave a bit erratic, for example, when I right click the ext3 partition and click on "Mount volume", it gets mounted (it appears in gnome- system-monitor) but the state of the icon is not updated and when you right click on the partition icon it still says "Mount volume" instead of "Umount volume" and when clicking again it shows a message saying that the volume is already mounted. Only after, let's say, mount the vfat partition or make other kind of change it gets updated and works as expected. With the CDROM I have another problem too, sometimes after the CD is mounted, then right click on it, click on "Eject" and it will umount the CD but won't get ejected showing the following error: "eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument". The CD is umounted but there is no way to eject it, the only way is logging as root and type 'eject /dev/cdrom', this will eject the CD but it still shows the same error message in the console. Please, any help will be appreciated... thanx, -William
