[Eric Tanguy]

I would like to mount a fat32 partition so i create /media/echange and
add /dev/hdd1 /media/echange vfat rw,defaults,user,umask=0000   0 0
to /etc/fstab the partition is mounted without any pb but i would like
this drive appears as a drive in gnome "poste de travail".
How is it possible ?
Thanks

Eric,

It's possible that my French is not up to snuff. I think "post de travail" 
must be the Gnome file browser window, is that right? And are you trying to 
get the mount to show up as an icon when the window is open? Please say what 
version of Fedora you have.

You are right. "Poste de travail" i don't remember how to translate it
but this is the icon when you open it you can see file system, others
hdd, floppy, network, ...
I have fedora core 6.

Eric,

Si je comprend bien, tu aimerais qu'un icon apparaît sur ton "desktop"
représentant la partion "poste de travail"?  Je suis pas certain
comment le faire, mais je peux certainement faire la traduction pour
toi et le reposter pour que quelqu'un plus connaissant puisse t'aider.

(translation:  Just checking with Eric what exactly he is seeking to
do.  As I understand, he is automounting a FAT32 partition via
/etc/fstab, and would like that partition to appear as an icon on his
desktop with the name "poste de travail" which means place of work, so
no doubt a work related partition.  Once clarified I can assist him
with translating his request into English so that someone can in turn
provide him with a solution - which if necessary I can translate back
to French for Eric).

No, he's talking about the icon that on my FC6 is named "Computer", and
contains the icons he describes:  File System, Floppy, Network, etc.
"Poste de Travail" would be "Workstation" or "Desktop".  (I think it is a
mistranslation, and would be better as Ordinateur or Computer.  Translation
isn't supposed to "improve" the text.  If the text needs improving, file a
bug.)

Thanks but the problem is not with the translation : i would like to see
a FAT32 partition mounted by /etc/fstab as a hdd device in "Computer". I
believe it's possible but i can't find how to do this.

Your prior fstab example should have mounted the hard drive, but perhaps
there was a problem with making the mount point in /media (that's where
one of the auto-mounters does its tricks).  Perhaps using /mnt might
actually mount it.

I don't really know if the problem was that it wouldn't mount, or that
you couldn't see the mounted drive in the list of drives Nautilus shows
when you're browsing computer:/// in it.

If you want to see it in computer:/// rather than in /mnt, you might
have to mount it with some fstab options that describe it as a removable
drive.  That might involve playing with some SELinux parameters.  It's
ages since I did that, and I don't recall exactly how I did it.

The mount is fine. The problem is that i could not the mounted dirve in
computer:/// only in /media/echange of course.

I tried :

/dev/hdd1 /media/echange vfat
rw,defaults,context=system_u:object_r:removable_t,user,umask=0000   0 0

as described in man mount but with no more result in computer:///. I
also tried the same but with a mount point in /mnt/echange.

Thanks

try type as auto in the fstab line. I have since moved all that stuff
into LVM, so I don't use the 
FAT 32 anymore on this system, or I could send you the line.  I didn't
think to save it.

Thanks but using auto instead of vfat does not solve my problem.

I installed hal-gnome package and use hal-gnome to see parameters of my
hdd. I saw that for this hdd i had a boolean key volume.ignore set to
true so i used hal-set-property to set it to false. I umount and mount
the disk and all is fine !!
