Summary: mountmgr only assign drive letters for up to two removable devices Product: Wine Version: 1.1.8 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: regression Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: thestig@google.com
It used to be the case that if hal reports a device as a floppy, it gets assigned to a: or b:, otherwise, the device gets assigned a drive letter between c and z.
With the changes in mountmgr just before Wine 1.1.7, all removable devices that are not cdroms are limited to a: or b:, which means if I hot-plug 3 usb thumb drives, the third one does not get a drive letter.
