Solved NO_NAME devices in XFCE4

[kAldown]

Greetings.

Can someone explain me what this NO_NAME is and why showmount -a freezes for such a long time? One time I got a D-Bus error also.


Thank you!

showmount(8) is for NFS, network drives. If you do not have any of those, it is probably just a timeout.

The device itself could be a number of things. Are you running HAL?

 

[kAldown]

My bad, sorry for that showmount. Yes, of course. How can I determine what those two devices are?

 

[wblock@]

They might be hard drives or possibly partitions or other storage devices detected by HAL, if you are running it.

Hello,

This is caused by HAL "incorrectly recognizing" FreeBSD's EFI boot partition as mountable. You can instruct HAL to ignore the partition by creating an FDI file named something like 10-ignore-efi-bootpartition.fdi in the /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy directory with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="volume.fstype" string="vfat">
      <match key="volume.fsversion" string="FAT12">
        <match key="volume.size" uint64="819200">
          <match key="volume.label" string="NO_NAME">
            <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
          </match>
        </match>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

Notice the match by volume size 819200. This is actually the size of the FreeBSD's EFI boot partition image written to HDD when installing with bsdinstall.

# ls -al /boot/boot1.efifat
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  819200 Nov 11 22:03 boot1.efifat
