Hi! Until now I used /etc/fstab to mount my usb memory stick but I would like to switch that task to hal now to be able to use the cool removable devices widget of plasma. The problem is that I defined some options in /etc/fstab and cannot get hal to use the same options.
The fstab line look like this:
LABEL=USB-Stick /mnt/USB-Stick vfat
uid=root,gid=users,showexec,user,noauto,umask=002,utf8,shortname=mixed 0 0
From what I googled on the web I deduced that I should create a file named
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/20-USB-Stick.fdi and fill it with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="volume.uuid" string="4908-87A8">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.showexec" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
The volume uuid (4908-87A8) was obtained via "$ /lib/udev/vol_id /dev/sdc1"
where sdc1 is the partition on my usb stick I want to mount.
I restarted hal and tried it after creating this fdi file but it does not work.
The executable bit is still set for both directories and folders. As this
didn't work I did not yet try to implement the other options.
Does anyone have an idea? Is there some documentation about these fdi files on
the web that I did not find?
Thanks in advance for your help!
