------- Additional Comments From tony_lambregts@telusplanet.net 2003-02-16 12:41 ------- Excellent bug report.
It seems that the cause of the problem is that the mount point for your floppy does not exist untill autofs mounts it. So another fix for your problem is to define a mount point (create that directory). That however seems to be defeating the way that autofs works.
I am fairly familiar with this portion of wine and how it behaves on linux. I would also like it changed but for different reasons.
let me explain. In general a mount point has to exist in order to mount a device. That mount point has a st_ino number. When a device is mounted that number is different from when no device is mounted. The current (ASCII) code for returning the drive letter fails when the ino number changed. All this however is (almost) irrelevant to your patch.
What is missing from this patch is the documentation. The sample config and users guide need to be updated to do this properly.
documentation/samples/config documentation/configuring.sgml
Are the relevant files. If you need help with this aspect please tell me.
