TODO: have to rethink extra options

I get this annoying error again. In kde3 all that was needed is to uncheck the mount as user option. This however doesn't seem to be an option in KDE4...

Any ideas?

Please?

I doesn't understand what you mean or how you do it and what your after.
Could you explain your error better and how to replicate it.

mattydee · 05-28-2009, 01:29 AM

Yes, sorry:

When I try to mount the vista partition (NTFS) through Dolphin (which uses HAL), I get the aforementioned error.

With KDE3, all you had to do was right click on the icon and uncheck the "mount as user" option, but there is no such dialogue in KDE4.

Thanks

you have installed ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs?

mattydee · 05-30-2009, 01:55 PM

Yes.
I can mount fine via root:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /vista

can you post your /etc/fstab?

I commented out the line referring to the vista partition since I want to attempt to mount it using HAL.

Code:

/dev/hdb2        swap             swap        defaults         0   0
/dev/hdd1        /                ext3        defaults,acl     1   1
#/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom       auto        noauto,owner,ro  0   0
/dev/fd0         /mnt/floppy      auto        noauto,owner     0   0
devpts           /dev/pts         devpts      gid=5,mode=620   0   0
proc             /proc            proc        defaults         0   0
tmpfs            /dev/shm         tmpfs       defaults         0   0

/dev/hdb1       /data           ext3            defaults,acl    0       0
# /dev/hda1     /vista          ntfs-3g    users,noauto,umask=000          0       0

If it is on the same computer I would recommend just leaving it in your /etc/fstab as it was placed there by the installer.

The only problem you will have with it by doing it the way I mentioned is if you get a BSOD in Vista and want to boot into linux after. The drivers will be marked as "In use" and you will have to force them.

No, it was placed there by me.

But the problem with the fstab approach is that you need root to mount/umount. So again, my goal is to mount in user space using HAL. This was pretty straight forward using KDE3 and Konqueror. If one got the "TODO: have to rethink extra options" error, all that was needed was to uncheck the "mount as user" option. I can't see how to do that with KDE4.

was the whole line placed there by you or just the # at the beginning line.

If it is in your fstab un-commented you will never have to mount/unmount it. it will always show up. I am running under a user account in 12.2 with 2 Vista drives in my fstab and they are always available at any time because they are mounted at boot-up as apart of the init scripts.

example my fstab:

Code:

/dev/sda2        swap             swap        defaults         0   0
/dev/sda1        /                jfs         defaults         1   1
/dev/sda3        /Vista           ntfs-3g     umask=000        1   0
/dev/sdb1        /Network         ntfs-3g     umask=000        1   0
#/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom       iso9660,udf        noauto,owner,ro  0   0
/dev/fd0         /mnt/floppy      auto        noauto,owner     0   0
devpts           /dev/pts         devpts      gid=5,mode=620   0   0
proc             /proc            proc        defaults         0   0
tmpfs            /dev/shm         tmpfs       defaults         0   0

I know how to use the fstab, my problem is mounting an ntfs partition via HAL.

Still no joy...

something which could be done with KDE3
