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.
