Hi!
When I try to mount inserted floppy disk in GNOME it does nothing... When I try to access it via menu the following error appears:
Cannot invoke CheckForMedia on HAL: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "CheckForMedia" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage.Removable" doesn't exist[fuf@localhost ~]$ sudo cat /etc/fstab | grep fd0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 vfat user,noauto,utf8 0 0I still can mount my floppy using mount /dev/fd0
Any suggestions?

AFAIK hal doesn't work on devices that are in /etc/fstab, but your error message indicates that gnome-volume-manager tries to call a function that isn't available in hal 0.5.10.

Looks like another bug that requires us to update hal. I guess we'll use a release candidate then, there's no other option to get rid of these bugs.

FYI: I can mount floppies here under Gnome 2.22. My fstab entry is different:
/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0This latest version of Gnome seems to be making a distinction between what's mounted in /mnt and what's mounted in /media. What I haven't managed to get at the moment is an automatically generated desktop icon for the partition that I've got mounted in /mnt:
/dev/sdb6 /mnt/Extra ext3 defaults 0 1Is Gnome now following the Linux FHS to the letter, so anything in /mnt is assumed to be a filesystem temporarily mounted by an administrator?

Have you added 'fuse' to your list of modules in /etc/rc.conf? Find the line starting with 'MODULES=('.
