Bug Description
Hello,
I tried changing my mount options for /home and / (adding "user_xattr" for beagle) using the disk manager/editor in kde-systemsettings (under "advanced"). However, upon entering the options and pressing OK, the tool complained
- that it could not remount the disk (shouldn't it fail gracefully and inform the user that the settings will become active after maybe the next reboot?)
- that "UUID= ....", which seems to be the default naming scheme for partitions in Edgy, was not a valid partition and it proposed to add the "loop=" option (which is nonsense in this case).
Please investigate this... it's quite confusing for the novice user.
Thanks!
Jens

I believe a fix for the mountconfig stuff was recently backported, although I am not 100% sure. I know it was uploaded to Hardy. Can you confirm if this issue is still existing? Thanks!
