Package: hal Version: 0.5.11-2 Severity: wishlist Hello!
My wish is to make it relatively simple and easy for administrators to set up HAL to use NTFS-3G so that desktop users could mount their removable NTFS storage devices read and write. I would like this to be included in lenny and I expect that if this is done correctly and soon enough, the release team will authorize this. As I understand it, the way to do this is via tinkering with HAL's .fdi files; changing some defaults there; I haven't investigated just what exactly needs be done. My suggestion is to make a debconf question in the hal package which will ask which driver I would like HAL to use for mounting ntfs filesystems. This debconf question will let me choose between the kernel driver (the current default), the user-space driver (ntfsmount from ntfsprogs package) and the NTFS-3G driv er. Which selections are available will depend on which packages are installed and the debconf question sho uld let me know of these options, so that I'll know which packages I can install for this purpose. I would really like this to be included in lenny so I'll be posting about this in various mailing lists asking for help and I'll appreciate the Debian hal team's quick response.
