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: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

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.
