In this particular case you are lucky because /dev/hdc is not likely to change. But even here this is doubtful as changing mountpoints may get you. 'gnome-mount -e -d /dev/hdc', when gnome-mount is available, possibly may tide you over. OTOH with USB devices things are not that simple as devices may get assigned differently on every connection so you will have problems. > and "eject /dev/cdrom1" Chances are that this will not work. Surely not a bare-bones 'eject' even if you have only one CD device. If mountpoints will change then in general you cannot guess in advance how a corresponding /etc/fstab line is supposed to look. > I don't see the issue affecting me all that much. It looks like that it might affect you quite a bit. Especially if you have programs which are not used for hunting for their data on removable media in unspecified locations. OTOH this whole interface is apparently still in flux. Michal -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
