If fstab-sync sees the line device already exists id doesn't change it. There will also be a managed noop flag that will tell us if we are allowed to remove or change the line. > 'updfstab' missed it (there was a patch floating around, however) and I > hope that the replacement will have them included. There is an open bug on this. The great thing about fstab-sync and hal is it knows a lot about the device so users won't have to know anything about switches as we can place the correct switches in during the hotplug. As I said you are still free to manage fstab yourself. > -- > Manuel Moreno <manolo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >
