Hi list.
I have tried to remove (with fstab-sync) settings on fstab for my floppy,
bat without results.
On fstab-sync man page I have read syntax to remove media,
but I don't understand wat's UDI and where I can find it.
---- man fstab-sync ----------------------------------------------------------
fstab-sync --remove=UDI
Remove an entry from fstab by giving a HAL
Unique Device Identifier
---- man fstab-sync ----------------------------------------------------------
I have tried replacing UDI with
- /dev/fd0
- fd0
- /media/floppy
- floppy
and any cases return to me error on a library.
less /etc/fstab :
-------------------
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom auto
pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
Any proposal are appreciated.
Many thanks.
