           Summary: Cannot mount hotplugged devices present in fstab when
                    the computer is on
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: caterpillar at fastwebnet.it


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have a sata rackbox where I hotplug hard disks when the computer is on.

Each hard drive is present in the fstab with a unique UUID and a unique mount
point

for example:

UUID=2dffd502-6cee-4398-9d32-9276abed51f6 /media/diskone ext3
defaults,user,relatime 0 0

UUID=ed10dfe6-7df0-4c47-a512-89779d731475 /media/disktwo ext3
defaults,user,relatime 0 



So, if I turn on my computer with the disk "diskone" inside the rackbox, it
will automatically mount it under /media/diskone, and it's ok.


But if put inside the rackbox the disk "diskone" when the computer is on
(hotplug), the computer does not auto mount it and I have to go to the shell
and write:
sudo mount /media/diskone

Doing that, Linux will reconnize that I'm trying to mount the disc with the
UUID 2dffd502-6cee-4398-9d32-9276abed51f6 in the mount point that is listed on
the fstab.

I'd like KDE to do that automatically for me.
Because Dolphin reconnize the hotplugged disk, but cannot mount it because is
already mentionned in the fstab and for some strange reasons it cannot mount it
by itself.
