|

Aside from bloating my fstab with line entries for devices that I will rarely see how can I make my system automount NTFS drives and allow me to view them in userspace? I've added entries the /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi for ntfs-3g, umask=0222, etc... and nothing has worked. It's as though hal is mounting the device and paying no attention to the configs for ntfs devices. I've tried the recommened way of adding the policy/95userpolicy/removablentfs.fdi as well and still no go. All the entries that were made in that userpolicy are already present in the storage methods under 10osvendor. I don't want to add the line items to the fstab because the ntfs drives aren't normally on my system. If I add a line item for them then what happens when I add an ext2 usb drive or vfat that uses the /dev/sdd1 device entry that the ntfs is using now? Does anyone have a reasonable solution to managing filesystems the way hal is suppose to? _________________ I respect faith, but doubt is what gives you an education.

Nevermind...Found an easy solution.
Code: | ln -s /bin/ntfs-3g /sbin/mount.ntfs |

I was in a similar situation you're in right now - then I switched to ntfsprogs and all was fine - btw I use KDE. Sorry no real help, just a suggestion. _________________ Hello 911? How are you? |
