I can't mount vfat/msdos USB drivers in KDE4. But I can mount ufs drives. After HOURS of trying to figure this out (which users should never have to do) I discover that the -L option to mount_msdosfs does not work. When I try to mount by hand I get the following:
$ mount_msdosfs -u 1001 -L C /dev/da0s1 mnt mount_msdosfs: C: No such file or directory This is the exact same debug message I get out of HAL when I try to mount the drive in KDE using the Device Notifier. I don't use the -u or -L options by hand, but that's what KDE tells HAL to use, which I didn't find out until debugging HAL. Unfortunately, KDE *still* does not allow users to change the default mount settings. Is this a KDE bug? Or a FreeBSD mount bug? I'm using 7.1-STABLE. I'm patching KDE by hand to workaround this, because it's been a month now without being able to use USB drives, and I tired of fighting it. But I would love to see some rational solution instead.
