Hi Fedora,
When booting Fedora 27 (fully updated) suddenly totaly unpredicted sometimes I get three aps on screen : Home , Filesystem root and Boot.
If this is the case suddenly in the directory Computer appears the aps Boot,Filesystem root,Home and File system : Normally I get following content : PLUS DVD +/-RW DU-8A5HH , ST1000LHN101MBB system reserved , ST etc.Ger (my name) ,ST etc. Windows 10 Pro and File system.
You understand when this happens I cannot approach the DVD/CD reader/burner and the other aps , that normally in the directory Computer are listed , anymore .
How can I correct this failure ?
I am not sure what you mean by aps, but I'll assume you are talking about an icon or menu item.
I can't tell you how to correct this, but it sounds like an intermittent bug. When this happens at boot, and when it doesn't, run journalctl -b, and cut the part of the boot that is concerned with mounting filesystems and paste it into a text file. Then, do a diff on the two files to see what is different in them. That should point to what is happening, and allow you to open a bugzilla against the proper component to get this fixed.
The types of things you are talking about are usually mounted based on the information in /etc/fstab. But that doesn't match with Windows being in the list. Is this before linux starts, the menu of what system to start?
