Title: Is the Mounter tool safe?
Post by: AmigaMance on February 02, 2007, 01:27:44 PM
  Hi.
 OS3.9 came with a nice little utility called Mounter. It lets you to mount HD partition on demand.
 If we except this bug (quoting from the OS3.9 FAQ)
Quote
Incorrectly mounts all unmounted partitions of a hard disk when only one unmounted partition is selected for being mounted.
which is a bit annoying, is it an ok to use utility?
 Anyone had serious problems with it? I don't want to lose a partition or anything...

 Also, is there a fix for this bug or perhaps a similar utility?

Don't worry. It does NOT mean that partitions themselves are mounted incorrectly or something.

It just means that if you select to mount single partition of certain HDD, all the partitions of the given HDD get mounted as well.

Maybe BoingBags have fixed this minor problem. I am not sure, though.

 Yes, i understand what it means. I was just wondering if there are any undocumented and potentially dangerous bugs. Ok.

I don't think so, remember it always mounted every unmounted partition - lots of disks etc. on workbench...
but no problems as long as I didn't mix my backups with the originals.

Anyway, I haven't experienced any other problems with this program so far...
