#4327 mount drive by "Partition labelled" acts on first named, not selected
not serious but..
when 2+ partitions are labeled the same and case matches, and you want to mount a same named partition elsewhere, upon click SAVE webmin will take the first listed name in the "Partition labelled" drop-down list.
note: adding by "Disk" or "Partition with ID" instead works just fine and probably i should know that like labels are a no-no. but i figured i would mention this. it made me blink twice and it may ruin a newbie's day. Essentially this may just be a watchit issue with other fs conf files as well.
reason for bringing this up is we wanted to copy a partition to use when one hdd goes, they always do. we can easily work around this with relabeling later. but with usb services growing, it could be tangly.
Milestone: 1.660 but coulndt select it. never checked priors on this.
Won't both entries in the "Partition labelled" list be the same though if they have the same label? Webmin will add an entry to /etc/fstab like :
LABEL=foo /mnt/foo ext3 rw 0 1
However, it is unclear which of the labelled partitions with the same name the system will mount in this case. I'd recommend against doing this actually :-)
