Hi!
My other partitions mounts fine and i can browse through all of them manually(from console). The only problem is my first partition hda2 which gives a "Permissions Denied" error when I click on it even though I'm currently in root.
Here's my /etc/fstab
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0/dev/cdrom /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto 0 0/dev/hda1 none swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/hda3 /root reiserfs defaults 0 2
/dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4 vfat noauto,owner,users 0 2
I noticed this when arch is booting maybe it has something to do with it.
kinit: hda1 is mounted as read only
...something of that sort.
Also, I've placed hal daemon in my daemons array in modules.conf
Any suggestions deeply appreciated.
Ps. Is there a way to always display devices like floppy drive and cd rom drive on media:/ ? .... makes mounting them from the gui possible especially for floppies which aren't autodetected.
Thanks in advance!

Hm. From the fstab, hda1 is set up as a swap partition. It doesn't have a normal file system, so you can't mount it.

Ops I meant hda2; my 16GB / partition. Sorry for the confusion..
Thanks in advance!

I actually experience the same problem under KDE. This doesn't happen with my old Arch installation (synced). This only started happening after I reinstalled Arch...

Same here after my last update.

Did anybody filed a bug report already?

Add floppy to MODULES=() in /etc/rc.conf. floppy has been a module since 2.6.18 as far as I can remember. Regarding the CD-ROM icon, it won't really appear until a media is inside the drive. I think that current behavior is fine that way since virtually all, if not all, CD drives have media "auto-detection" capabilities.
I hope that helps...

I think that the problem is in your /etc/fstab.
According to your post: "/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults 0 1"
it should be: "/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults 0 0"
That should make it accessible.
Hope this helps.

That field indicates the order partitions will be fscked IIRC. I don't see why that would be causing the issue. I'm having the same problem, fwiw - the / partition also appears unmounted according to system:/
I'm fairly sure this isn't an Arch specific bug, though. I recall having this problem on all of my boxen at one point - I almost never browse to / in this manor, though, so I could be mistaken.

Confirmed - exactly the same issue on my frugalware box. It turns out that Kubuntu Edgy now hides these things from you (shock and horror, I know) so I can't even check on it.

would adding user_xattr help?
this is my fstab and I am able to brose my root through media:/ in kde.

i have got the same problem and i solved it this method:
just comment out the /dev/hda2 line thats all.

Hmm.. for some reason that works! Didn't even need a restart... Not sure why it does but i'm sure that shouldn't be a permanent solution...
Thanks for the workaround!
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if I understood the issue correctly, but please try this workaround:
Create /etc/udev/rules/root-link.rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="block", RUN+="/lib/udev/root-link.sh"
Place root-link.sh into /lib/udev and make it executable.
Now do /etc/start_udev or, better, reboot.
If this works, post a comment to bug #5519

Err.. I think currently I'm currently in deep trouble... I rebooted to a bunch of weird errors which I suspect is due to the step above. My / partition is mounted read-only be arch and I can't even change /etc/fstab to the way it was b4.
Also, the prompt I'm stuck at shows arch linux 0.8(voodoo). Is that normal? I remember doing some pacman -Syu b4 this happened..
Any help greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance!

Phew.. knoppix v5.01 live cd saved me from the pain of starting from scratch! I booted into it and tried to write in /etc/fstab as root yet the same mounted as read only problem persists. Then I right clicked the / partition icon on the desktop and selected make read and write or something of that sort, edited the required entries and now back on my arch install typing this comment.
I'm thinking of spending more time learning about the nooks and crannys of the linux system to get around such problems easily...
Thanks in advance!

I tried that but it doesn't seem to work...

This works but is there to do this from kde itself?
Thanks in advance!

KDE, and your whole system, won't be able to "see" and access your floppy drive if the floppy module isn't loaded.
