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 at winehq.com
ReportedBy: guidod-2003- at 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.
