[rajesh.bahl]

Dear All,

I am facing a strange problem. For any filesystem that is not of ext3 type, the mount point of the same keeps appearing on my desktop.
Initially I had 6 filesystems of ext3 type and things were normal. I created another filesystem of ext2 type . It is mounting properly and working okay -- the only issue is that the mount point is appearing on the desktop which in any case needs to be avoided.

I tried installing the entire OS by creating ext2 filesystem during initial install but the results are same.

How can we avoid such icons appearing on the desktops ?

I do not remember exactly.. u have to dig it exactly..

Applications --> System Tools --> Configuration Editor --> Apps --> nautilus.


There is some setting about "visible volumes" .. see if it is there in your CentOS too!
