(Get the code!)
This bug is only two weeks from it's two year anniversary. At the top it says "confirmed" and priority "high" and yet two full years later it is still the case in a fresh install of 804. You *almost* had a debian > ubuntu convert, but stuff like this combined with someone incapable of stringing a sentence together correctly writing scripts to do automounting of USB stuff :
"The following shows how to put sync and noatime on for devices smaller then 1Gb and off for device larger then that. Note that the sync option can wear out device faster then you'd like too."
/etc/hal/
and not having an easy to reach/find way to turn off that behaviour have just about driven me away within 24 hours.
My "I've used debian for ever" story isn't quite as good as that guy up above, but it's not far off and I agree that behaviour that forces users to do it "your way" is totally unacceptable. Furthermore, making it unnecessarily difficult for an experienced user to manualise things (eg runlevels and console count etc) in order to help the lazy and dumb is very far from OK.
Get it together guys...
Fred.
