OK, after messing around with it for an hour, I managed to figure out a way to fix this. This is just a hack until some things with nautilus and hal are fixed up, but you can try this:
Open up /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi and paste this in at the end (but before </deviceinfo>): <device> <match key="volume.fstype" string="ntfs"> <merge key="volume.is_mounted" type="bool">true</merge> <merge key="volume.mount_point" type="string">/media/Windows</merge> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_filesystem" type="strlist">fuse</merge> <merge key="storage.removable" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge> </match> </device> Of course, replace /media/Windows with the mount point. This won't work if you have multiple NTFS partitions, change the match element to match your device. Please let me know if this works :-) Cheers, Samuel -- hal does not recognize NTFS-FUSE mounted devices as mounted https://launchpad.net/bugs/35354 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
