 Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2005 5:26 am Post subject: get mount'd ntfs drive on gnome desktop [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I want my mounted ntfs and fat windows drives to show up on my gnome desktop like my usb stick does when I insert it (hal+dbus+gnome-volume-manager). How do I do that?
My fstab looks like this right now: | Code: | # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.18.4.1 2005/01/31 23:05:14 vapier Exp $
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda1 /boot reiserfs notail,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs uid=1000,gid=100 0 0
/dev/sdb2 /mnt/fat vfat uid=1000,gid=100 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto user,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 |

I tried to do something similar a while back but when I attempted to place a short-cut to the drive and place it on the desktop it began to copy all the files on the mounted drive. SOmething I didn't want. To my knowledge you can't do this with out copying ALL the files as well.

Symlinks works, but I'd rather a solution where nautilus recognizes it as a drive and adds links to it in all the appropriate places.
I'd like it to be mounted at boot-time, therefore auto is fine with me right now. |

| Try adding the "user" parameter to your ntfs partition in fstab. |
