Hi, I am new to linux/opensuse and am trying it out for the first time. I have installed opensuse on my PC but am having trouble with the mount points for my hard drives.
My system is set up with three SATA hard drives connected to the onboard SATA controller on my motherboards nForce 570 chipset. One of these is a single primary disk, and the other two are a secondary raid mirror.
The problem I have is that the NTFS partitions on my raid mirror have duplicate mount points. Opensuse seems to recognise all three physical disks and the raid mirror but creates surplus mount points for the partitions on the mirror, i.e. there are mount points in /windows for the raid mirror itself, but the OS has created duplicate mount points for each disk in the mirror in /media, so for the three partitions on the mirror there are a total of 9 mount points, the 3 correct ones in /windows and the 6 duplicates in /media.
I have removed the entries (after backing up the file) from /etc/fstab for the mount points in /media, but I am still seeing folders in nautilus named as the mount points are, although when I click on them I just get an empty folder. More annoyingly there are also links to the six duplicate partitions in the places pane on the left of nautilus which when double clicked give an error “Authenticate - System policy prevents mounting internal media”. I do no understand why there are quicklinks to these partitions but not the other ones mounted in /windows in nautilus. Can I just delete the folders from /media? And how can I remove the links from the tab in Nautilus?
Thanks
Tom
