ok, after playing a bit with gnome-mount, it seems that you can set it easily
with nautilus.
Right clic on your device in computer:/// and select property.
You should have a "volume" tab.
Here you can set the file system & some mount options.
The thing is that you have to make hal aware of the options before being able
to using them.
So you have to create a .fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ that looks like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="volume.fstype" string="ntfs">
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options"
type="strlist">locale=</append>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
after you can set "file system" to ntfs-3g and "mount options" to
locale=what.you.want
So i think this is rather not a gnome-mount bug, but an hal bug :
"locale=" should be a valide option for hal, at least for ntfs device.
Also setting it automaticly with gnome-mount should be a bit invasive, but that
would be the best solution.
Note : Be carfull that ejecting external device may fail with fuse <
2.6, fuse_module < 2.6, ntfs-3g <0.20061115-BETA (see http://ntfs-
3g.org/releases.html ) so i suggest you to not use this method until all
those pieces are in place in feisty. For the moment you should rather
use my patch pmount, that take care of this problem.
Thanks,
