Ok so the basics
KDE 3.5.9 from kdemod (not the full version): from desktop go to control center -> Desktop -> Behavior -> Device Symbols (3rd Tab) and make sure the box is checked (Checked) --> I got the corresponding Icons On Desktop
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM automounting and autounmounting works like charm, with the icon showing up, and eject command unmount and removes the icon.
extx partitions work great as with reiserf
As root everything works, with ntfs, both on Konqueror and from CLI
But as user I Got the hideous:
TODO: have to rethink extra options
I have installed latest hal, ntfs-3g, dbus

KDE have this option when you right-click on a HDD from properties at the mount section at the end:

Did you ever encounter these error messages:
[cyt@arch ~]$ dmesg | tail
NTFS driver 2.1.29 [Flags: R/W MODULE].
NTFS-fs error (device sdb5): parse_options(): Unrecognized mount option locale.
NTFS-fs warning (device sdb5): parse_options(): Option utf8 is no longer supported, using option nls=utf8. Please use option nls=utf8 in the future and make sure utf8 is compiled either as a module or into the kernel.I do not add those hal related policy files, and just uncheck the "mount by user" option.
Offline
sorry for not responding earlier.
I truly do not recall an error as those.
Maybe this one has to do with foreing disk labels, one that is mentioned in the wiki about ntfs-3g/hal, check it, it gives a solution to that.
I had another problem of foldres/files in ntfs partitions not showing up when are named with Greek characters. I haven't yet apply the solution, don't have time right now to test things!!!

Hi,
You don't have a drive with ntfs-3g in your fstab. Í got the same msg, in the end I looked up ntfs (and subsequently fstab) in the wiki. the "defaults" has all sorts of options
Although I ditched the locale part of it, that may be the answer to your orher problem.

OK
sorry for the delay,
for the ntfs-3g, HAL to work in KDE, you have after the modification in the policies, to right click on the drive, then on the last tub to uncheck the user something option, cannot remember right now what was that option, but had to do with the mounting of the specific drive by the user and not nly b the root, HAS TO BE UNCHECKED,
the lasat of the four choices if I remember correctly.
