Created attachment 19152 [details] [review] don't list the "locale" option HAL lists "locale" as an available mount option for the "ntfs" filesystem type. However, the in-kernel ntfs driver in Linux does not really support this option. If the client mounting the device provides this option, the mount will fail (see "mount" man page). The availability of this option is a mistake, because it IS supported by the ntfs-3g driver (and also the unmaintained and dysfunctional "ntfsmount"). However, these drivers install their own config file to HAL which changes the fstype to something else, so the correct driver is used, and also set the mount options they support in their own config file. So, the option should be removed. Patch is attached.
fixed in git: commit a0d82b80f775faf666aa699f354338098286ff20 Author: Danny Kukawka <danny.kukawka@web.de> Date: Thu Oct 9 13:54:26 2008 +0200 Revert "allow 'locale=' NTFS mount option for Linux" This reverts commit a372bf79e16a5c6c00d0e262745dc935de364ca2. The ntfs-3g or ntfs-fuse package has to install their own fdi file to allow locale as mount option if needed. Otherwise HAL would allow invalid mount options for plain kernel ntfs.
