Subject: Re: mounted device icons not appearing in F9 (rawhide)

I have what I believe is a fully updated rawhide F9 installation with
NFS functioning.
I have entries in /etc/fstab and the "mount /mnt/foo" commands work
as expected and data is accessible on the mounted drives (mounted from
other systems on my internal home network).
The only issue I'm seeing is that the desktop icons are not appearing
on the F9 system.
The mounts are being done by opening a new terminal and su'ing to root.
In past release this caused the desktop icons to appear. Is anyone else
seeing this behaviour? Any suggestions on where to investigate?
I was unsuccessful locating anything resembling this on Bugzilla.
I'm not sure that we are going to get the desktop icons - and I for one
do prefer them, for their visibility. In F9 a widget pops up when such
a device is inserted, and in that widget you elect to open it in
dolphin. You can configure the length of time that the widget stays
visible.
The question I asked was how to umount it. I was told that it is done
within dolphin - the icon in the left-hand panel. It works, no doubt
about it, but I don't like it much. For one thing, it feels clumsy in
the extreme to open it by one method and then use a totally unrelated
method to umount it.

I wasn't real clear, I guess.
The mounted devices, in my case, are not removable devices. They are
disks that exist on other computers on my network that are shared by NFS.
(BTW, I see the same issue with smb/cifs.) I manually perform the
mounts when needed. using "mount /mnt/<exported_directory>" with the
appropriated entries added to fstab....
Also, I'm using Gnome, if that matters.
Trying to read between the lines, is the fstab entry technique
deprecated? Is there a new process that is supposed to be used? I
suffer from a certain amount of inertia, here. If it works, I just keep
on using the same technique. Perhaps I missed the change.
Enlighten me, anyone?
Thanks,

same for me. i have some nfs shares entered in fstab and i can't see
them on the computer icon or when mounted on the desktop like it was in
previous fedora releases. in gnome i can only do manual mounts via Disk
Mounter applet. did i miss some default changes or is this a bug.
thanks
Since the mounts occur (they can be listed under /media) the fstab entry is
working. It's my guess that desktop links are not yet implemented in KDE4.
I can't answer for Gnome..
If your mounts don't succeed you may need to edit fstab. Several of us have
found that to be necessary. It would probably be best for you to post a
failing line so that we can advise.

My fstab entry is correct (it is the same as in FC8), since I can
mount it via the DISK MOUNTER applet and also via the command
line. I just cant see any icons on my desktop or the computer:/// place
in nautilus.
