Duplicate entries in places menu

[Bobhuber]

I see this posted in several places in the past but no answers. If I use UUID in fstab to mount additional partitions I get duplicate entries for the partitions in the Places Menu.
I can solve the problem by mounting the partitions by Label ( /dev/sdb2 /mountpoint ) but half of the time grub2 will not mount the drive correctly using this method and will change the volume ID (sdb2 becomes sdf2) . ANY help would be appreciated.

I have the same behaviour at my system, at least when I tried it that way the last time, running Lucid 10.04, like stated.

But I can workaround that by putting the device specifications like this:

/dev/disk/by-uuid/107C-26F4  /media/Data     vfat    user,utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=46 0       0

Hope it works for you too!

Greetings.

Thank you very much !! The /dev/disk/by-uuid did the trick.
