Alan,<br><br><br>Excuse the double post....<br><br>So...I am running Gnome 2.16.2 Is Gnome Volume Manager also managing the drives and partitions I have?<br>And <span class="q" id="q_110901f1d6b5922d_0">then what creates the volume name that is displayed on the desktop for that drive? <br>In my example I have a USB external drive with a ext3 partition, there is no listing in /etc/fstab for that partition, /etc/mtab lists it as, /dev/sdc2 /media/disk, and on the desktop the icon for it reads, 66.0 GB Volume. Where is that configured? <br><br>douglas<br></span><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/4/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Alan McKinnon</b> <<a href="mailto:alan@linuxholdings.co.za">alan@linuxholdings.co.za</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Monday 05 February 2007, Douglas Linford wrote:<br>> Good day all,<br>><br>> I'm getting confused very quickly about what program/process actually<br>> automounts my partitions and then what creates the volume name that <br>> is displayed on the desktop for that drive, once it is mounted.<br><br>Traditionally it was fstab that did this, and automounting programs read<br>that file and did nothing if a drive was not listed.<br><br>These days it's becoming different.
