Hi,

I have a strange issue with dbus and gvm. When I log into gnome (2.14) I get a link on my desktop for a '27.0GB Volume' which is one of my HDD partitions (the NTFS one for my WinXP installation) - this is /dev/hda1

In my 'Computer' display, I get my DVD burner, /dev/hda1, my boot partition (/dev/hda6 - not mounted), a second install of WinXP for college (/dev/hda2), Filesystem and Network.

Here's a link to a picture:

If I restart dbus (# /etc/init.d/dbus restart ) then I get 2 different links on the desktop, for the 2 partitions in fstab (/dev/hda1 and /dev/hda5), and my 'Computer' window only has links for those two drives and has lost my DVD burner.

Here's a link to a picture:

I'm not really sure where to start investigating this, but for the record, I have:
gnome-base/gnome-volume-manager-1.5.15-r3 USE="crypt doc -debug"
sys-apps/dbus-0.62 USE="X doc gtk mono python -debug -qt3 -qt4"
sys-apps/hal-0.5.7.1 USE="acpi crypt doc -debug -dmi -pcmcia"
sys-fs/udev-098

My fstab is:
Code:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.14 2003/10/13 20:03:38 azarah Exp $

# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.

# <fs>             <mountpoint>    <type>     <opts>            <dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda6      /boot         ext2      noauto,noatime   1 1
/dev/hda8      /         reiserfs   noatime,notail   0 0
/dev/hda7      none         swap      sw      0 0
/dev/hda1      /mnt/win/Personal   ntfs      noatime,defaults,users,ro,umask=0      0 0
/dev/hda5      /mnt/win/Shared      vfat      users,exec,umask=000   0 0
#/dev/cdroms/cdrom0   /mnt/cdrom      iso9660      noauto,ro   0 0
#/dev/fd0      /mnt/floppy      auto      noauto      0 0

# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none         /proc      proc      defaults      0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

none         /dev/shm   tmpfs      defaults      0 0

#/dev/hdc                /media/cdrecorder       auto    user,exec,noauto,managed 0 0


I don't have fstab-sync installed (according to portage) and no package by that name exists (according to portage).

Any help anyone can give on how to sort this out would be great. I'd like to get it to a stage where it:

    automounts removable media (CDs, USB drives etc) and places an icon on my desktop (sometimes works)
    has SHARED PERSONAL and my DVD writer in 'Computer'
    either has no hard drives on my desktop or has SHARED and PERSONAL


Thanks for making it this far, and looking forward to some assistance :)
