Re: [Bug-gnupod] Add --copy option to gnupod_search?

[Stuart McLaren]

Hi Richard,

Here's the behaviour I'm seeing with various mount options:

1) default mount options
2) mount option check=relaxed and 
3) mount option shortname=lower


(1) Default (Doesn't work)

/etc/fstab contains:

/dev/sdd2       /media/ipod   vfat user,noauto     0       0


address@hidden:/etc$ mount | grep ipod
/dev/sdd2 on /media/ipod type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=sam)
address@hidden:/etc$ gnupod_search -m  /media/ipod -a prince -t Alpha

                        (try 'mount ... -o check=relaxed')

(2) check=relaxed (Doesn't work)

(3) shortname=lower (Does work)
