A reasonable compromise might be to include the dev
node
name at the end of the mount point in brackets, i.e. "/media/My CD Label
(sr0)". Once we know how HAL handles this corner case via your test I can
try to duplicate its behaviour as much as possible.
I tested this on a 3.5.10 system with the DVD and CD drives. Both disks had the same
volume label. There were no problems. The mount point names were handled in the same
manner as reported earlier with using default mount names of disk, disk-1, etc. with USB
flash drives. In this case, I ended up with the first disk being mounted at
"/media/Slackware Install1" and the second disk being mounted at
"/media/Slackware Install1-1."
Using volume labels does not result in a mount point naming conflict or mindless loop.
I repeated the test on the same machine using an older GIT version of TDE. Of course, like
the 3.5.10 system, that set of packages were built with HAL rather than TDEHW support. The
mount results were the same.
I see you committed some patches, but I will need a couple of days to test TDEHW on the
dual optical disk machine because I have to build 32-bit packages to test. All of my
previous TDEHW testing has been with 64-bit packages.
