Okay, a bit more testing on my end and I'm fully confident this
is going to work. So here is a revised file we create and put
in the book (of course, this is only for locales that actually
need it):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<!--
This file is used to set custom options to the HAL policy settings.
The default policy settings are defined in files contained in the
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy directories. User defined customizations
should be in files contained in the /etc/hal/fdi/policy directories.
-->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<!-- Sets the proper '-o iocharset=[CHARSET]' mount option for
filesystems (volumes) on pluggable devices. This rule will
apply to the entry created in the /etc/fstab file for the
device type. You must substitute your desired 'iocharset'
value for [CHARSET]. -->
<match key="info.udi" string="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer">
<merge
key="storage.policy.default.mount_option.iocharset=[CHARSET]"type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
<device>
<!-- Sets the proper '-o codepage=[CODEPAGE] mount option for
filesystems (volumes) on pluggable devices. This rule is
not added to the default entries in the /etc/fstab file.
Instead, it is added when the filesystem (volume) is
mounted. -->
<match key="volume.partition.msdos_part_table_type" int="FSTYPE_TO_MATCH">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.codepage=[CODEPAGE]"
type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
If there is more than one filesystem type that needs the CODEPAGE
stuff passed, of course, we'd need more match key definitions.
Alexander, I'd like to know your thoughts.
