i have a system with fedora 7 and rhel 5 installed. recently, i changed the f7 to rawhide. now whenever i boot up, it mounts all the file systems related to rhel5 along with it and displays on the desktop. dmesg says /dev/sda1 mounted on /media/_1 and so on. I want to disable this feature. i don't know if this is anything useful ?? i even don't know if its a feature or a bug... can any one please help me out with this thing ? i understand hal is doing this (??), but why ? and even when i unmount it, the same can still be found in /media. right clicking on those partitions give me the option of mounting/unmounting them. but i don't want to let them appear in my rawhide systems totally. anyone else has this experience on rawhide??how do i disable it ??
Fedora 7 has a file called /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi to prevent this from happening, here's its contents: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="false"> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>
If that file is no longer there in Fedora 8, try adding it and see if that helps.
