Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
Hello,
recently i installed ntfs-config, a package that attempts to tell hal to mount
ntfs partitions using the ntfs-3g (read/write) driver.
ntfs-config tries to achieve so by symlinking one of its policy files under
/etc/hal/fdi/policy. The file gets blatantly ignored (even if the hald cache
gets invalidated if any modifications are made to such file, judging from the
output of hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes, therefore hald is picking that file
up). The driver hald tries to use when mounting the partition is still the read
only ntfs driver.
The same policy file, nevertheless, works like a charm if placed under
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor, where all of the other standard
policy files already reside. Is this a mistake on ntfs-config's side (ie
the /etc directory isn't parsed by design by hal), or is this not
intentional and somehow hald is skipping out that directory ?
here's the policy file:
--
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<!-- file created by ntfs-config -->
<!-- mount ntfs volume with the ntfs-3g driver to enable write support -->
<device>
<match key="volume.fstype" string="ntfs">
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable"
bool="true">
<merge key="volume.fstype"
type="string">ntfs-3g</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_filesystem"
type="string">ntfs-3g</merge>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options"
type="strlist">locale=</append>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
