Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by JefSpaleta: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/PackageNotes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The {{{fstab-sync}}} facility has been removed. In Fedora Core [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]], the {{{fstab-sync}}} program is removed in favor of desktop specific solutions for mounting removable media. Entries for hotplug devices or inserted media are no longer automatically added to the `/etc/fstab` file. Command-line users may migrate to {{{gnome-mount}}}, which provides similar functionality. + == Mounting of Fixed Disks (eg IDE) in Gnome and KDE == + As part of the changes to the mounting infrastructure, a decision was made to include mounting policy definitions which ignore all fixed disk devices from the automatic mountable devices detection that the desktops now use. This was done due to security concerns on multiusers systems. People on multiuser systems are advised to understand the implications of the default hal policy decisions and to review the hal policy files in '/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/' before making any changes which could impact multiuser environments. + + If you are on a single user home system and you would like to recover the functionality to mount fixed disk items (such as IDE partitions) from the desktop you can modify the default hal policy. A quick fix to recover the desktop mounting for all fixed disks is + {{{ + + mv /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi /root/ + + /sbin/service haldaemon restart + }}} + + If you need more fine-grained control and only want to expose certain fixed disks for desktop mounting, please read over how to create additional hal policy to selectively ignore/allow fixed disks devices. + == GnuCash == The PostgreSQL backend for '''Gnu``Cash''' has been removed, as it is unmaintained upstream,
