http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1283 Summary: bsd -automount'ed drives ignored (e.g. "A:" on /vol/a via autofs master.vol) Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC URL: http://freespace.sf.net/guidod/wine-vol-a/ OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-winelib AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.com ReportedBy: guidod-2003-(a)gmx.de The following text is a shortened description of the bug - a long description, screenshots and patches can be found at http://freespace.sf.net/guidod/wine-vol-a/ The problem: If there is no medium in a autofs mounted floppy drive at startup of wine, then files on the floppy are inaccessible even when a medium is inserted later. The diagnosis: The DRIVE_Init will throw away any mount-point that does not exist at startup time - it does not make it to the internal drive. It will not check later whether the mount-point came into existance somewhen in between - you need to restart The real way: There is no need to keep this behaviour, the wine's drive access method can handle it that a mount-point is removed somewhere in between: it prints warning messages and continues to work properly. This is partly the windowish way: just say the drive is inaccessible as warning during runtime, do not kill it beforehand. The patch: A .wine/config boolean option "AutoMount" is introduced that will default to the old behavior. When being enabled then a warning-message logged but the drive is kept in the internal drivelist and can be seen in the file-open dialog-box. At the moment, applications work properly with wine cvs but we still need to patch the sources like that to make it useable for us. cheers, guido counter.li.org #81555 DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUG RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT <http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1283>.
