[Bug 300443] Re: hal rejects to mount ntfs-3g partition

[Guy Thouret]

I tested the above commands and got the following results:
(After each command was issued I attempted to open the partition by double clicking it's icon in 'Computer' and noted the error message)

UDI of my NTFS partition from hal-device:
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_D0C4C81DC4C807A4

sudo hal-set-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_D0C4C81DC4C807A4 --key volume.fstype.alternative --strlist-post ntfs-3g
Cannot get volume.mount.valid_options

sudo hal-set-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_D0C4C81DC4C807A4 --key volume.mount.ntfs-3g.valid_options --strlist-post locale=
Cannot mount volume.
Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume.

sudo hal-set-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_D0C4C81DC4C807A4 --key volume.mount.ntfs-3g.valid_options --strlist-post exec
This opened an authentication dialog saying something about the security policy didn't allow mounting of local disks.
I entered my password and got the following error:
Unable to mount location
Internal error: No mount object for mounted volume

I then double clicked the disk's icon and it opened as /media/disk as I
would expect it to normally operate.
