I have a problem with mounting external drives that use ntfs-3g. When I plug in my external drive it shows up in thunar but it won't mount with the error that ntfs file system is not recognized (I removed the ntfs module since I need rw support). on the other hand if I use pmount /dev/sdb1 it mounts just fine and then thunar can access that drive (after it was mounted).
As far as I have been able to figure out, thunar uses hal for mounting the drive, thus it is hal that doesn't know how to use ntfs-3g. I changed the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi before to handle this but it gets annoying since it is overwritten with hal updates. Is there a way to get hal (or thunar) to use ntfs-3g instead of ntfs when it is installed? I don't know if it is related, but unmounting also used to give a lot of trouble with this drive when it was working with an error saying that an unknown error occurred, although the drive was unmounted correctly. thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
