The versions are (according to rpm): hal-0.2.98.cvs20040923-1 dbus-0.22-9 kudzu-1.1.90-1 gnome-volume-manager-0.9.10-2 gamin-0.0.9-1 (hmm... how could i have a kudzu-devel package with different versioning than kudzu?!?) > > But the mountpoints are still there - so according to gnome's "my > > computer" - i now have tree floppy discs. > > According to gnome? how about according /etc/fstab? are the > mountpoints under /media still there?

This is /etc/fstab: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 So yes they are gone. All removable media are gone. Both /media and /mnt are empty (what happened to /mnt?). => probably not a gnome problem. How the fstab etc. looked when i had 3 floppy disks, i dont know. But since it seems like gnome is telling the truth, i think there must have been 3 fstab entries. I didnt think the upgrade would kill off every removable storage mountpoint, but i was hoping that the bug was fixed in later versions.
