Howdy,
This is my first post, and I thought I'd try this before filing a bug report...
I'm using kde3.5.6, self-compiled a-la BLFS (linuxfromscratch.org), and I love it. Works great. Even the automounting. But...I have an NFS share mounted from zeus:/export/scdb at /data/scdb. Its listed in /etc/fstab, and my init scripts mount it at boot time.
Kinfocenter -> storage devices lists it as type "NFS", which is correct. However, control center ->desktop -> behavior -> device icons always makes it show up as a mounted CD-ROM (when I check the "Mounted CD-ROM" box) on my desktop. I suspect this is due to the embedded 'cd' characters in /data/scdb, as none of the other NFS mounted shares get this treatment.
So whenever I enable the "Mounted CD-ROM" checkbox in the Device Icons settings, I get this NFS share on my desktop, displayed as a mounted CD-ROM.
Given that I don't actually care to enable the "Mounted NFS Share" checkbox (which, by the way, fails to show /data/scdb as an NFS share--so at least my situation is consistent), I could just as easily live with a simple work-around to tell KDE to simply ignore the /data/scdb line in /etc/fstab (or /proc/mounts, or wherever it gets its data from...).
My question is just the opposite of "KDE doesn't mount my stuff"...my question is how can I get KDE to ignore a storage device??? If folks think this is a new bug, I'll file it, but it would still be good to know how to get KDE to disregard a particular storage device, both for automounting (and I can get said ignorance to occur with the proper hal rules, such as to only consider removable devices, etc., but I think I'm dealing with a KDE desktop issue here, as it only affects the icon...).
Thanks,
John
