 |

I am not quite understanding this one. I have 3 other hard drives and 4 partitions across them that i would like mounted by HAL, but they dont mount at boot in gnome. I have tried putting the entires in FSTAB and leaving them out of FSTAB.
A helping hand please! Thanks everyone.

In order to get my disks mounted I added the partitions to fstab and edited (or created from scratch, I can't remember) the
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi
file, right now mine is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="false">
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo> |

| would this not kind of defeat part of the purpose of hal working with gnome volume manager. Especially for things like say usb keys? |

Ok, so all that is already set up like that  It is still not mounting. I can mount CD's AND USB sticks i just found out, but my hard drives are a no go. Maybe this will help
# ps ax | grep hald
| Code: |
2193 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/hald --use-syslog --verbose=no
2194 ? S 0:00 hald-runner
2197 ? S 0:00 hald-addon-input: Listening on /dev/input/event1 /dev/input/event0 /dev/input/event4 /dev/input/event5 /dev/input/event6 /dev/input/event3
2200 ? S 0:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/hda (every 2 sec)
2202 ? S 0:00 /usr/libexec/hald-addon-cpufreq
2203 ? S 0:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/hdb (every 2 sec)
13179 pts/1 R+ 0:00 grep --colour=auto hald

Why isnt HALD polling SDB SDC and SDD? It is only polling my CD drives...
my fstab
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
#/dev/sdb1 #vista 1
#/dev/sdb2 #vista 2
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/REMOVEABLE auto user 0 0
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/DATA ntfs3g user 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
|
I am so confused right now... Note that REMOVEABLE is a FAT32 hard drive that is on hot plugable SATA (That i never actually take out since the hot plugging only works in linux anyway) |

| i renamed /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi. For whatever reason, the newest HAL comes with rules that tell it to ignore fixed drives. |
