[Tracker] UUID cannot be assigned

[Alexandru Tataru <alexandruflavian gmail com>]

Hello everybody,

  In libtracker-miner\tracker-storage.c at:

/* fstab partitions may not have corresponding

* GVolumes, so volume may be NULL */

volume = g_mount_get_volume (mount);

  on my host volume is assigned and all goes well. But on my board this step of getting the volume fails (on the board automount is not on and I must mount the USB storage device myself). If this step fails it then goes on the else branch of the check.

/* GMount without GVolume.

* Note: Never found a case where this g_mount_get_uuid() returns

* non-NULL... :-) */

g_debug ("[%s][%d][%s]\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNCTION__);

uuid = g_mount_get_uuid (mount);

  The step above also return NULL and tracker is forced to generate an UUID based on the mount path.

  Can you give me some informations why the first part on the code fails? The content of the fstab file is 

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>    <dump> <pass>

# This default will have to be reset for specific boot environments,

# eg. for booting from a disk, maybe:

# /dev/hda2    /   ext3  rw  1  1

# This entry is known to work with NFS.

rootfs          /               rootfs  rw           0      0

proc            /proc           proc    defaults     0      0

sysfs           /sys            sysfs   defaults     0      0

devpts          /dev/pts        devpts  defaults     0      0

tmpfs           /dev/shm        tmpfs   rw     0      0

# usbfs isn't mounted by default as either USB needs to be statically linked

# into the kernel, or the usbcore kernel module needs to be loaded

# none          /proc/bus/usb   usbfs   defaults     0      0

# tmpfs isn't mounted on /tmp by default for two reasons:

#  a) it increases the memory footprint

#  b) files there will disappear on reboot

# none          /tmp            tmpfs   size=32M     0      0

  Have a nice day!
